Primary folder

Primary folder

The name of the primary folder for the language definition. This folder will be the primary location for all source files for this language. Enterprise Extensions source folders are called zFolders. zFolders are children of the parent folder zOSsrc, the Enterprise Extensions Dependency Build source location. Every zFolder is attached to data set definition that describes a z/OS™ data set. When a build is requested, the source files located in the zFolder are loaded into the associated data set on the z/OS system prior to the actual build activities.
