The COBOL Editor, JCL Editor, and PL/I Editor provide suggested
changes to resolve a warning or error annotation in the editor. To
use the quick fix function, the Real-Time Syntax Checking preference
must be enabled.
When a quick fix is available for a warning or error annotation,
a light bulb icon is added to the annotation icon. To display the
suggested fixes:
- Place the cursor over the highlighted text. A small pop-up window
displays the suggested fixes.
- Place the cursor on the light bulb icon and left-click.
- Place the cursor on the highlighted text and press Ctrl+1.
- Place the cursor over the text, right-click, and select Quick
Fix.
- Place the cursor on the highlighted text and click Quick
Fix.
If one of the suggestions fixes the issue, select the item. The
highlighted text is replaced with the suggestion.
Table 1 shows the quick fixes that are
available in the COBOL, JCL, and PL/I editor. The CICS/SQL/DLI column
indicates the quick fixes that are supported for
EXEC CICS,
EXEC
SQL, and
EXEC DLI statements in COBOL and
PL/I source files when you use the COBOL Editor and PL/I Editor.
