Set BLDRAPPL Preferences and View Properties

Guides you through the process of setting output preferences for the BLDRAPPL project, and view the properties for the BLDRAPPL application and the BLDRUPD program.
Restriction: This topic applies only when the AppMaster Builder AddPack has been installed, and applies only to Windows platforms.

Set output preferences

  1. From the AppMaster Builder perspective, click AppMaster Builder Preferences AppMaster Builder preferences page.
  2. In the left pane, click Output.
  3. In the right pane, under Save options, check Save COBOL.

    Save COBOL instructs AMB to save COBOL output in your project. In this case, because you have a CICS application defined, Save COBOL saves COBOL output to the COBCICS subdirectory.

  4. Also in the right pane, check Generate non-OS/VS COBOL, and List generated code.
    Generate non-OS/VS code Generates COBOL instead of OS/VS COBOL
    List generated code Produces a code listing in report format when you generate a program or application.
  5. Click Apply and Close.

View application properties

The BLDRAPPL demonstration application is a CICS/VSAM application. Its application properties have been set for you. To view them:

  1. In the Project Explorer view, right-click the BLDRAPPL application, and then select Properties from the context menu.
  2. In the left pane, click Settings and take note of the User Interface, MOD Size, and Databases settings.
  3. Click Cancel.

View program properties

When you add a program to an AMB project, it is created with a default set of properties. The BLDRUPD program that you added previously does not require that you change any of the default settings; however, you should view them to become familiar with them.

  1. In the Project Explorer view, right-click the BLDRUPD program, and then select Properties from the context menu.
  2. In the left pane, click Settings and take note that the Program type is set to Online Express.
  3. Click Cancel.
