Lesson 1.3: Importing the sample COBOL copybook

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:

  1. Open the Import Classic Data Definitions wizard:
    1. Select File > Import. The Import wizard opens.
    2. Select Classic Data Architect References and click Next.
  2. In the Import Classic Data Definitions wizard, specify the following information:
    1. SelectRemote host You'll import the sample COBOL copybook from where you installed it on your remote z/OS® system.
    2. In the Host field, type either the IP address or host name of your remote system.
    3. In the User ID and Password fields, provide your authentication information.
    4. Under Select files to import, select the COBOL copybook radio button.
    5. Click the Browse button next to the Copybook field.
    6. 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
    7. Check that you are importing the sample copybook into the Tutorial project by looking at the value in the Into folder field.
  3. 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.
  4. Click Finish.
The copybook appears in the COBOL Copybooks folder in your project.
