Before you create any tables in your physical data model, you need
to tell Classic Data Architect about the data structures that you will base
the tables on. You specify this information by importing files that describe
the data structures. In this tutorial, you base a table on the sample COBOL
copybook that is provided when you install a data server.
To import the sample COBOL copybook:
- Open the Import Classic Data Definitions wizard:
- Select File > Import. The Import wizard opens.
- Select Classic Data Architect References and
click Next.
- In the Import Classic Data Definitions wizard,
specify the following information:
- SelectRemote host You'll
import the sample COBOL copybook from where you installed it on your remote z/OS® system.
- In the Host field, type either the IP
address or host name of your remote system.
- In the User ID and Password fields,
provide your authentication information.
- Under Select files to import, select
the COBOL copybook radio button.
- Click the Browse button next to the Copybook field.
- In the Select Files window, navigate to
the data set high_level_qualifier.SCACSAMP, where high_level_qualifier is
the qualifier that was given to the SCACSAMP data set. Select the copybook
CACEMPFD from the Members list. Then, click OK
- Check that you are importing the sample copybook into the Tutorial
project by looking at the value in the Into folder field.
- Click Next. On the next
page of the wizard, you can view the content of the copybook to verify that
it is the copybook that you want to import.
- Click Finish.
The copybook appears in the
COBOL Copybooks folder
in your project.
