Dragging and dropping an item to the mainframe

If the Remote Systems window is not displayed, click Window > Show View > Remote Systems.
You cannot drag and drop VSAM files from your local project to the mainframe; however, you can achieve this by setting up a job stream with JCL and data, and submitting it to the JES spool.
  1. In the Remote Systems window, log on to the mainframe.
  2. Drag and drop the item to the appropriate catalog search filter in Mainframe Explorer, from one of the following locations:
    • The Local section of the Remote Systems window.
    • A COBOL project in the Navigator window.
    • A COBOL project in the Project Explorer window.
    • A COBOL project in the COBOL Explorer window.
    • A local catalog in the Server Explorer window.
      Note: You can only drag PDS members from a local catalog to the mainframe.
