Rational® Programming Patterns provides a Software Development Kit (SDK) to target the developments in a specific language or for a particular operating environment. To use this Software Development Kit, you must access the Rational Programming Patterns COBOL facet.
To display the COBOL facet, select COBOL as the active and the default facet.
. In this preference, selectThe COBOL facet is centered around the definition of Skeletons. Defining Skeleton is then the first task that an architect or an administrator must complete. Skeletons can be dedicated to the management of the COBOL code or can be generic to be adapted to other source codes.
To manage COBOL code, you must use COBOL Skeletons to generate COBOL Programs or Copybooks. When the generation is completed, the code opens by default in the PDP COBOL editor.
To manage another source code, you must use generic Skeletons to generate Source Codes. A Source Code editor is provided.
