The Import Data Definitions wizard imports
COBOL copybooks, PL/I include files, schemas, subschemas,
and DBDs into a data design project from either the local file system or from
a remote server.
You can tell the wizard to import files from the local file system
or to connect to a z/OS® server so that you can browse data sets for members
to download via FTP into the specified project.
