Copy MVS File into Clipboard/Paste MVS File from Clipboard

Function:

The MVS function package provides the two tools "Copy MVS File to Clipboard" and "Paste MVS File from Clipboard" for copy/paste support. The tools only work if executed on linked MVS element types.

Copy and paste is supported for the following scenarios:

Copy/paste elements between AWM element views.
Copy/paste elements between the operating system and AWM element views.
Note: Due to a technical limitation of the RSE framework it is not possible to copy linked MVS resources and paste them in an operating system location.
Copy/paste elements between AWM element views and COBOL Explorer, PL/I Explorer, Project Explorer or Navigator view.
Copy/paste elements between AWM element views and the Remote System view.

By default, the tool “Paste MVS File from Clipboard” triggers an asynchronous transfer operation. The copied file(s) might not be available immediately after the tool was executed. This means additional tools in the same action as the paste tool might not have access to the pasted element.

This behavior can be overwritten by the following tool attribute of the tool "Paste MVS File from Clipboard".

Tool Attributes of the tool "Paste MVS File from Clipboard":

Attribute	Type	Description
Run synchronously	Boolean	If true, the paste operation will run synchronously with other tools of the action. If false, the paste operation runs asynchronously with other tools of the action. The default value is false.

Attribute

Type

Description

Run synchronously

Boolean

If true, the paste operation will run synchronously with other tools of the action.

If false, the paste operation runs asynchronously with other tools of the action.

The default value is false.

Micro Focus recommends that you leave the tool attribute “Run synchronously” set to false if the tool is the sole tool of the paste action. Otherwise, your should set the attribute “Run synchronously” to true.
