- You only have a local COBOL source file

In this case the --source-path option is required.

[module-name]> ol add --source-path ./[asset-path]/[asset-source-file.cbl]

[module-name]$ ol add --source-path ./[asset-path]/[asset-source-file.cbl]

Return to tutorial

- You only have local copybooks files

In this case use the --program-path option to pass the location of the program on the remote CICS-COBOL host the --input and --output options to pass the local copybooks files path. If you want the name of the asset to be different than the --program-path value you can set the value of the --asset-name property to the new name.

[module-name]> ol add --program-path /QSYS.LIB/RMR2L1.LIB/FULLDETAIL.PGM --asset-name credit_accounts --input ../files/a/SAMPCPY1.cpy --input ../files/b/SAMPCPY2.cpy --output ../files/a/SAMPCPY1.cpy --output ../files/b/SAMPCPY2.cpy

[module-name]$ ol add --program-path /QSYS.LIB/RMR2L1.LIB/FULLDETAIL.PGM --asset-name credit_accounts --input ../files/a/SAMPCPY1.cpy --input ../files/b/SAMPCPY2.cpy --output ../files/a/SAMPCPY1.cpy --output ../files/b/SAMPCPY2.cpy

- You have a local COBOL source file and local copybook files

In this case use the --source-path option to pass the COBOL source file path and the --input and --output options to pass the local copybooks files path.

[module-name]> ol add --source-path ./[asset-path]/[asset-source-file.cbl] --input ../files/a/SAMPCPY1.cpy --input ../files/b/SAMPCPY2.cpy --output ../files/a/SAMPCPY1.cpy --output ../files/b/SAMPCPY2.cpy

[module-name]$ ol add --source-path ./[asset-path]/[asset-source-file.cbl] --input ../files/a/SAMPCPY1.cpy --input ../files/b/SAMPCPY2.cpy --output ../files/a/SAMPCPY1.cpy --output ../files/b/SAMPCPY2.cpy

Return to tutorial

- You have a copybook superclass

When your copybook data sources include a copybook superclass perform the following two steps to add it to the asset:

1. Generate from the superclass an asset type entity using an --entity flagged ol add command.
   WindowsmacOS

   [module-name]> ol add --source-path header.cpy --entity
   

   [module-name]$ ol add --source-path header.cpy --entity
   

2. Incorporate the generated entity into the asset using the --input-super-class and --output-super-class options.
   WindowsmacOS

   [module-name]> ol add --input fininq2.cpy --output fininq2.cpy --input-super-class header --output-super-class header --program-path FININQ2
   

   [module-name]$ ol add --input fininq2.cpy --output fininq2.cpy --input-super-class header --output-super-class header --program-path FININQ2
