Setting the data import configuration properties for PL/I files

You can set the data import configuration properties for the source PL/I file that you import into your project.
This page allows you to set the data import configuration properties for this data binding file. You can change the defaults for these properties in the Preferences page. Alternatively, you can change the properties in the source code in the Java™ editor once you close the wizard.
Once you have imported your PL/I source file into your project, you can set the data import configuration properties.
  1. Platform: select the platform on which the PL/I program runs.
  2. Code Page Selection: indicate the Codepage of the PL/I program on the target platform.
  3. To set the advanced data import configuration properties, click Show Advanced.
  4. Enable IMS™ Support
    • Checked
    • Unchecked
  5. Endian
    • Little: The little endian representation of integer data.
    • Big: The big endian representation of integer data.
  6. DBCS option
    • NODBCS: The NODBCS option will cause the listing to show all DBCS shift-code as ".".
    • DBCS: The DBCS option specifies that the source program does not contain double-byte characters.
  7. GRAPHIC option
    • NOGRAPHIC: The NOGRAPHIC options specifies that the source program does not contain double-byte characters.
    • GRAPHIC: The GRAPHIC options specifies that the source program can contain double-byte characters. The hexadecimal codes '0E' and '0F' are treated as the shift-out and shift-in control codes, respectively, wherever they appear in the source program, including occurrences in comments and string constants.
  8. Click Next.
Now that you have added the data import properties for your PL/I file, you can save these data bean properties.
