Rational Programming Patterns for System z

Using the migration help

You use the migration help function on a Program, Screen or Server to see whether the COBOL generated in Pacbase is different from the locally generated code.

Before you begin

To be able to use the migration help, you must previously:

Procedure

You can start the migration help by:

Results

The migration help function copies the Pacbase generated COBOL file to your workspace (in the COBOL target indicated in the Definition tab of the instance, and under the name indicated in the COBOL program ID (for Programs) or Program external name (for Screens and Servers)).

It generates the local COBOL file, using the skeleton language retrieved from the Pacbase extraction and import.

Then it compares the content of the control file with the content of the locally generated file and sets warnings wherever it finds differences.

To view these warnings, you must open the generated COBOL file with the PDP COBOL editor. The warnings are displayed directly on the COBOL lines and in the Problems view. They remain as long as you do not fix them (quick fixes are available).

An information message is displayed when you open the COBOL code of an instance which still contains warnings.
