Configuring SdU for Remote E/C/D

This section describes the base configuration requirements for SdU setup for using Remote E/C/D. If you plan to use SdU for Remote Data Access, refer to SdU: data section.

To configure SdU, a customized CONFIG.DFM file must be present in the IBMCOBOL\MACROS directory. A sample CONFIG.DFM file can be obtained from the samples provided for SdU in the IBMCOBOL\SAMPLES\SDU directory.

The CONFIG.DFM file requirements for using Remote E/C/D are minimal. Only the following customizing is required:

Figure 17 contains a sample CONFIG.DFM file using values from Table 1.

In order to submit batch jobs for processing on the host, you need to allocate the following two sequential data sets on the host:

userid.DFMXTSO.SYSTSIN - FB LRECL=80
userid.DFMXTSO.SYSTSPRT - VBA LRECL=125

The space values can be primary=10 and secondary=2 tracks.

Code page considerations

Your host MVS SMARTdata UTILITIES (SdU) server may support using only code page 850 for translation between host EBCDIC and workstation ASCII. Workstations configured for United States English typically default to use code page 437; however, code page 850 is almost identical to code page 437 and is sufficient for COBOL purposes.

To determine whether your host MVS SdU server can support your workstation default code page, do the following after you have performed all other required Remote Edit/Compile/Debug setup:
