Application Specific Attributes for Editor Support

The following application specific attributes can be defined in an AWM model for special use in the Enterprise Developer COBOL or PL/I editor.

The background parse process of the editors makes use of these specific attributes:

Attribute	Meaning
SYSLIB	A list of local path information and MVS data set names which is used by the editor's background parse process as search path for COBOL copybooks or PL/I includes.
COMPOPT	A list of Micro Focus compiler directives to use when background parsing a COBOL or PL/I program opened in the editor. Default value for COBOL is `DIALECT(ENTCOBOL CICSECM XDB(NOVALIDATE) EXECDLI` Default value for PL/I is `-margins 1,72 -cics`
AUTO_PARSE	Controls whether the background parse process of the editor is started automatically or explicitly called. Any value other than "true" (in any combination of upper and lowercase letters) will prevent the automatic reparsing of downloaded programs after they have been changed. You can activate the reparsing manually by modelling the "Reparse With Refresh" tool from the Micro Focus Editor function package. Default value: true

SYSLIB

COMPOPT

A list of Micro Focus compiler directives to use when background parsing a COBOL or PL/I program opened in the editor.

Default value for COBOL is DIALECT(ENTCOBOL CICSECM XDB(NOVALIDATE) EXECDLI

Default value for PL/I is -margins 1,72 -cics

AUTO_PARSE

Controls whether the background parse process of the editor is started automatically or explicitly called. Any value other than "true" (in any combination of upper and lowercase letters) will prevent the automatic reparsing of downloaded programs after they have been changed. You can activate the reparsing manually by modelling the "Reparse With Refresh" tool from the Micro Focus Editor function package.

Default value: true

These properties can contain a reference to an AWM property which can be used as an output parameter by an AWM tool. You can use this to dynamically define a copybook search path or compiler options at run time, before a program is opened in the editor.

The following fixed named properties can be used to replace the application-specific attributes:

Attribute	Fixed named property
COMPOPT	MFProp_RemoteSyntaxCheckOptions for COBOL programs MFProp_RemotePLISyntaxCheckOptions for PL/I programs

If the application-specific attribute is defined, it has a higher priority.
