Editing a COBOL source file that references a modified copybook

You can split the editor screen to search for and edit fields that reference copybooks.

Before you begin

You must first locate the file that you want to change. If the file is on a remote system, you must be connected to the system first.

Procedure

  1. Open the file.
  2. Perform a search for the field that references the copybook.
  3. Continue the search until you locate the place you want to change.
  4. To split the editor screen, right-click in the editor and click View->Open new view. The editor displays the source file in two panes side by side.
  5. You can use the one pane for reference while you edit in the other pane. The contents of the two panes are synchronized in such a way that the editing changes in one show up in the other at the same time.
