How to Expand a Copybook while looking into the Source Code

Hi,

Is there any TSO command or any ISPF command which will help me to expand my copybook while looking into the source code.

Thanks

Nope.

Well if you are just viewing the code then you could stick a B on the line after the copy statement and then type on the command line copy 'copylib(copybook)' and it will be pulled into your edit session.

I use "EXPND" command, after opening the Source code in view mode via 3.4, to expand copybooks. Might be site specific, still give a try.

These are all site specific. You can write your own REXX/CLIST for that purpose.

Hi,

Try this one.

Give "B" in linenumber of which copybook you want to open or expand.After then type COPY ' CMAP106.COPYB.PDS(RECORDS)' in command line.

CMAP106.COPYB.PDS is an dataset name.
RECORDS is a copybook.

If its wrong correct me.

Logeswaran,
You have repeated what 'stodlas' had posted earlier.

There is a good chance that you may end up include a different version of copybook than that will be actually used while compiling the program. So I will suggest looking in to expanded copybook in compiler listing.

if you using endevor tool , u can use the footprint option to expand the copybook in the source code.

Hi,

Just an addon view, If you are using PANVALET you will have an expand option.

set the option to yes to view the program in expand mode.

Cheers,

type TSO CBX on command line and place cursor at copy book name and press Enter. This works in our shop.

Sun,

I tried using Enddevor, But i could not able to view the code in expanded mode.

Do you have any setting/command to enable this ?

Cheers,

Devzee,

Thanks for your quick reply. I went into the footprint option and browsed the member.

But still the member is in compressed mode.

Any Suggestions ?

Devzee · Posted: Mon Sep 24, 2007 10:51 am

You did Browse or Listing?

diwa_thilak · Posted: Mon Sep 24, 2007 10:53 am

I did Browse buddy

Devzee · Posted: Mon Sep 24, 2007 10:58 am

Should I assume you did Listing

diwa_thilak · Posted: Mon Sep 24, 2007 11:02 am

Dev,

Let me explain clearly.

1. I went into the footprint option and gave the dataset name in the (other partioned data set name option) and pressed enter ( i didnt give any option)

2. Member listed in the component window and i entered option B against the member and the member opened.

When i view the copy books it is still in the compressed mode !

Devzee · Posted: Mon Sep 24, 2007 11:05 am

Check if you can do L listing unstead of B.

diwa_thilak · Posted: Mon Sep 24, 2007 11:09 am

Dev,

I could able to do the listing for the component.

Can you tell me for certain components i get ' Member not Footprinted'

What does it mean ?

Do we need to recompile the program in NED ?

Devzee · Posted: Mon Sep 24, 2007 11:12 am

All COBOL programs which are in Endevor and succesfully compiled with no errors should have footprint.

diwa_thilak · Posted: Mon Sep 24, 2007 11:14 am

Dev,

For certain components i get the above error message.

I think this is the problem, that is y the component is not getting expanded ?

Any suggestions buddy ?

Devzee · Posted: Mon Sep 24, 2007 11:15 am

Then see if you can re-compile
