Configuring the Developing Environment

You can specify additional configuration environmental options using the Environment dialog box. To access this, from the Drag and Drop main screen, select Environment from the Configure menu.

Catalog search criteria, delimited by commas: This required field is passed to the mainframe in order to obtain a list of data sets that match the fully qualified name, a partial name, or a name that contains an asterisk wildcard. You can specify multiple search criteria in the same line, separated by commas or semi-colons. The last twenty catalog search criteria items are available from the drop down list.
Endevor qualification: If you are an Endevor user and have purchased and installed the Endevor support interface add-on product to MFA, then you can access the Endevor system by specifying the proper qualification. It must be in the form, and typically the specification would consist of at least the ENV parameter, and optionally followed by the SYS, SUB, or STG parameters. The JCARD, JMBR and JLIB parameters are only required if your wish to override the defaults already defined in that particular Endevor library. ENV environment SYS system SUB subsystem STG stage id JCARD jobcardmember JMBR EndevorJCLmember JLIB EndevorJCLlibrary You can include quotes around any variables specified in the Endevor qualification area, if so desired. For example, ENV 'PROD' SYS 'ATM' SUB 'USA' would be a valid specification as well as ENV PROD SYS ATM SUB USA. The last Endevor qualifications are kept in the most recently used, first order, and may be selected directly from the drop down. All of these qualifications in the list will appear on the mainframe window.
Use codepage: The workstation code page that is used when performing ASCII to EBCDIC, and EBCDIC to ASCII translations, is sent to the mainframe during the initial connection. The default workstation code page may not be desired for non-North American workstations users.; To enable DBCS support, you must edit the started task JCL procedure; see MFA Started JCL Procedure for more information.; By setting the Use Codepage field to the proper code page, the associated code page is sent to the mainframe, instead of the workstation default one. By setting this field to mainframe default, no code page is sent from the workstation, but instead the default mainframe translate tables located in MFLSCTRN on the mainframe are used instead. The proper tables must have been selected during the mainframe installation of the server.
Limit browse lines to: This numeric field limits the number of lines that will be read and transferred when double clicking on a file or member. If you specify zero, there is no limit.
Default editor specification: You can specify the command and any optional parameters for a default editor to be used, when using the right mouse context button for the edit function. This default editor will be used, unless a Windows editor for the specific file extension has already been set up. You must fully qualify the editor command, include the path and extension of the program to invoke.
Add Command: Click this to add an editor to the Open with popup menu item (which is displayed when you right-click on a file). After clicking Add Command specify the editor's details in the Description, Command and Parameters fields, check Save Mainframe Edits? if appropriate, then click Save Commands.
Delete Command: Click this to delete the selected editor.
Save Commands: Click this to save the changes you have made to any editor definitions.
Reset All Commands: Click this to reset all editor commands to the default . After clicking this button (and clicking Yes on the subsequent confirmation message box), the only editor on the Open with popup menu item is Notepad. Any definitions you have added are lost.
Description: The name that will appear on the Open with menu item for an editor that you have defined. Specifying a single ampersand (&) causes an underscore to be displayed beneath the character following the ampersand, signaling a keyboard shortcut. To display an ampersand you need to specify two consecutive ampersands (&&).
Command: The command to run for the selected editor.
Parameters: The parameters to use on the command line for the selected editor. %s is used to denote the file that is to be edited.
Save Mainframe Edits?: Specifies whether the files changed by the selected editor are exported to the mainframe. This has no effect when using the editor on the PC side.
