RemoteMacrosDialog is automatically displayed by the IMU Parser when macros located in Easytrieve Plus
program do not exist in any local macro directories.
The dialog provides the macro (Member) name and the PDS/PDSE name on z/OS that contains the missing member.
The Browse button allows you to browse for PDS/PDSE libraries on the remote system.
If a PDS/PDSE list exists, you will be asked if you wish to refresh the PDS/PDSE names list or not.
Selecting No
loads the existing PDS/PDSE names list.
Selecting Yes
prompts you with the Remote PDS/PDSE Wild Card dialog to specify the wild card
for generating a new PDS/PDSE names list.
Select Search
to create the PDS/PDSE names list.
The PDS/PDSE name can be a maximum 44 characters long.
For Wild PDS/PDSE Card choices, see the WildCardPdsFilter document.
The file name can be a maximum 8 characters long.
Clicking on Ignore
will add the missing macro to the macro exceptions list. The macro
will be flagged as unresolved and its presence will not be tested again.
You can manually manage macro exceptions by clicking on Mainshell: Tools -> Manage Macro Exceptions.
You can click on Cancel
to cancel this macro retrieval request. If you do, the current request to resolve the macro will be cancelled.
However, the dialog will be repeated for subsequent syntax check until this problem is resolved or you select the
Ignore
button.
