View the Project and Source File Properties
To view the project properties:
- Right-click the project and click Properties.
- Click the different tabs in the properties to see what options you can use to configure how your project builds.
Where appropriate, click Show Advanced Directives,
, to view more options.
- Right-click a PL/I program in Solution Explorer and click Properties to view the individual file properties.
Note:
- Most of the properties for the project are not duplicated for each program. For example, -defext is only specified for individual files.
- There are Additional options fields for both compiling, on the PL/I tab, and for linking, on the PL/I Link tab.
On the PL/I Link tab there is a field for libraries. This is used for both external libraries such as ODBC, and for linking projects. If you were working on a project that required a .lib that was created by a second project, you would put the name of that .lib here and if it is updated by the build process, this project would be re-linked.
