Sample code for IBM Z Open Editor and IBM Wazi Developer

Welcome to the sample repository, which provides sample code for you to explore the features of IBM Z Open Editor and IBM Wazi Developer for Red Hat CodeReady Workspaces (IBM Wazi Developer).

Product introduction

IBM Z Open Editor, a component of IBM Wazi Developer, is a free modern editing experience for IBM Z Enterprise languages. Learn more.

IBM Wazi Developer is a single integrated solution, which delivers a cloud native development experience for z/OS. Learn more.

Content

This repository provides sample COBOL, PL/I, HLASM, and REXX programs, along with JCL and data files to compile and run them. The JCL files have defaults that can be used with the IBM Wazi Sandbox default image out of box, but can be adjusted to fit your z/OS configuration.

Depending on the product that you want to explore, choose the appropriate Git branch.

Branches for Z Open Editor only

The following branches provide code samples with editor configuration settings such as ZAPP, as well as JCL and Bash build scripts that use Zowe CLI and the IBM RSE API Plug-in for Zowe CLI to build and run the samples:

  • main branch: sample applications
  • tutorial-complete branch: extended sample applications.

These two branches represent a before and after view of working sample applications for each language that were extended with a new capability as documented below.

You can use these branches with IBM Z Open Editor and Zowe Explorer installations on MacOS or Windows, as well as on Eclipse Che.

Branches for IBM Wazi Developer

The following branches provide additional sample code for Wazi Developer and its integrations with other zDevOps products:

  • wazi-main branch: sample application
  • wazi-tutorial-complete branch: extended sample application

These branches represent two different states of development in the same application, and include the following samples:

  • All samples, such as JCL file, that are pre-configured and tested to be used with the IBM Wazi Sandbox
  • IBM Debug for z/OS configuration settings, VS Code launches, and JCL
  • User Build configuration files to be used with IBM Dependency Based Build
  • Groovy-based set-up scripts that build and deploy the COBOL sample application to a fresh Wazi Sandbox or any other z/OS system
  • Ansible set-up scripts that build and deploy the COBOL sample application to a fresh Wazi Sandbox or any other z/OS system
  • A GitLab CI sample to build and run the application as part of a GitLab pipeline

Note: The automation scripts currently cover the COBOL samples SAM1 and SAM2 only, but you can easily copy and adjust them for the PL/I and Assembler samples. To learn more about how to use these scripts, check the Section "Building and running the COBOL example" in this file for the Bash with Zowe CLI scripts, and in the wazi-main branch for the Groovy and Ansible variants.

Prerequisites

Before you run and use the sample code, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

  • Set up IBM Z Open Editor by following the procedure.
  • To use the user build function, IBM Dependency Based Build (DBB) is required to be set up.
  • To use the Z Open Debug function, IBM z/OS Debugger is required to be set up.

Running COBOL sample files

Sample files

  • COBOL programs: SAM1, SAM2, and SAM1LIB
    • SAM1LIB is a copy of SAM1 but shows resolving copybooks with the local and MVS library options
  • Copybooks: CUSTCOPY and TRANREC
  • Libraries copybooks: DATETIME (local under COPYLIB) and REPTTOTL (MVS under COPYLIB-MVS)
  • Data source files: SAMPLE.CUSTFILE.txt and SAMPLE.TRANFILE.txt
  • JCL members that set up and run the application: ALLOCATE and RUN. Note: The JCL files are to be used as templates, so you might need to update the compiler library name and the HLQ parm with your TSO user ID.

SAM1 reads in both the CUSTFILE and TRANFILE data files, then performs different actions on the CUSTFILE based on transactions from TRANFILE. Valid transactions are ADD, UPDATE, and DELETE. When an UPDATE transaction is processed, SAM1 calls SAM2 to perform the requested update. At the end of processing the TRANFILE, SAM1 generates a report on the transactions processed and produces an updated CUSTFILE.

SAM2 also includes some base code in place for CRUNCH transactions that are mentioned in the use case below.

Sample use case

You have received requirements to enhance the Daily Customer File Update Report to include the total number of customers as well as information regarding "Crunch" transactions. A "Crunch" transaction is a request to calculate the average monthly order revenue for a specific customer. The current daily report simply displays the first 80 bytes of each transaction record as well as total counts for each type of transaction.

Building and running the sample files

The ALLOCATE.jcl file will allocate the necessary data sets on the MVS host that need to be in place before using the Zowe CLI commands to copy the files from your local workspace into the pre-allocated data sets and to run the application. The RUN.jcl will compile, link, and run the programs.

The files created with the ALLOCATE.jcl are:

USER1.SAMPLE.COBOL
USER1.SAMPLE.COBCOPY
USER1.SAMPLE.COPYLIB
USER1.SAMPLE.OBJ
USER1.SAMPLE.LOAD
USER1.SAMPLE.CUSTFILE
USER1.SAMPLE.TRANFILE

The application creates a new CUSTFILE and produces a customer report in USER1.SAMPLE.CUSTRPT.

The folder called zowe contains Bash shell scripts that can be used with Zowe CLI profiles to upload the COBOL program files, copybooks, and JCL files to MVS and execute the JCL conveniently. All the scripts assume that you execute them from the workspace directory, so for example as the command zowe/zowecli-cobol-upload-run-simple.sh.

  • zowe/zowecli-create-profiles.sh: This script contains Zowe CLI commands to create profiles for RSE API, z/OSMF, SSH. You can edit the variables in the beginning for your account. The script can also be used for updates, such as changed passwords, as it overwrites existing profiles with new values.
  • zowe/zowecli-cobol-upload-run-simple.sh: A simple example that executes one Zowe CLI command after the other required to build and run the SAM1 example using JCL files. It main purpose is to demonstrate the command usage without distracting with too much scripting code.
  • zowe/zowecli-cobol-upload-run-tutorial.sh: Is discussed in the RSE API Plugin for Zowe CLI tutorial of the Z Open Editor user documentation. It performs essentially the same steps as the previous script, but is written more in the style how an automation script would work, but actually querying JCL job statuses and waiting.
  • zowe/zowecli-cobol-clean.sh: A simple script that deletes all the data sets created by the other scripts.

Results

After you successfully run the programs, you can see the resulting new files of the sample use case from the tutorial-complete branch. You can copy and modify these sample scripts if you want to use them for the other examples in this repository.

In looking at the files, you will notice a new copybook called SAM2PARM, which was created to contain the parameters necessary for SAM1.cbl to pass to SAM2.cbl in order to process a new transaction type. There is also a new TRANFILE which contains a record for the new CRUNCH transaction.

Multi-root example

The COBOL sample above shows how to use VS Code as a single-root workspace. You also find the folder called multiroot in this repository that contains a simple example for how to utilize IBM Z Open Editor with a VS Code multi-roor workspace setup. See the README in that folder for more details.

Running PL/I sample files

Sample files

  • PL/I programs: PSAM1, PSAM2, and PSAM1LIB
    • PSAM1LIB is a copy of PSAM1 but shows resolving includes with the local and MVS library options
  • Includes: BALSTATS and CUSTPLI
  • Libraries includes: DATETIME (local under INCLUDELIB) and REPTTOTL (MVS under INCLUDELIB-MVS)
  • Data source files: SAMPLE.PLI.TRANFILE.txt and SAMPLE.PLI.CUSTFILE.txt
  • JCL members that set up and run the application: PLIALLOC and RUNPSAM1. Note: The JCL files are to be used as templates, so you might need to update the compiler library name and you will need to update the HLQ parm with your TSO user ID.

PSAM1 reads in both the PLI.CUSTFILE and PLI.TRANFILE data files, then produces a report with customer information and a Totals summary section. Valid transactions are PRINT and TOTALS. A PRINT transaction prints the Customer records to the Customer section of the report. When PSAM1 reads in a TOTALS transaction, it generates the Totals Report section.

PSAM2 generates running totals from amounts passed in from PSAM1.

The PLIALLOC.jcl file will allocate the necessary data sets on the MVS host that need to be in place before using the Zowe CLI commands to copy the files from your local workspace into the pre-allocated data sets and to run the application. The RUNPSAM1.jcl will compile, link, and run the programs.

The files created with the PLIALLOC.jcl are:

USER1.SAMPLE.PLIOBJ
USER1.SAMPLE.PLILOAD
USER1.SAMPLE.PLI
USER1.SAMPLE.PLINC
USER1.SAMPLE.PLI.INCLLIB
USER1.SAMPLE.PLI.CUSTFILE
USER1.SAMPLE.PLI.TRANFILE

The application creates a report called USER1.SAMPLE.PLI.CUSTRPT.

Sample use case

PSAM1 needs to process a new type of Customer record called a Product record and generate a new line for Service Calls in the Totals Report section. You can accomplish this by creating a new program called PSAM3 to process these new records and produce the product statistics needed on the report.

Building and running the PL/I sample files

Follow the same steps as for the COBOL sample above, but replace the respective JCL files with PLIALLOC.jcl and RUNPSAM1.jcl.

Results

After you successfully run the programs, you can see these resulting new files of the sample use case from the tutorial-complete branch:

  • PSAM3
  • Include PRODSTATS that is used for the data being passed between PSAM1 and PSAM3

Running HLASM sample files

Sample files

  • HLASM programs: ASAM1 and IRR@XACS. IRR@XACS is included to provide a better example for the Outline View, and can be found in the SYS1.SAMPLIB on the Z host.
  • Copybook (in ASMCOPY): REGISTRS
  • Data source file: SAMPLE.ASM.FILEIN.txt
  • JCL members that set up and run the application: ASMALLOC and RUNASAM1. Note: The JCL files are to be used as templates, so you might need to update the compiler library, the z/OS Macro library, the Assembler Macro library, and the Assembler Modgen library names. You will also need to update the HLQ parm with your TSO user ID.

ASAM1 reads in a record from the SAMPLE.ASM.FILEIN data set. It will then write it to the output file ASM.FILEOUT and the record number and column number records.

The ASMALLOC.jcl file will allocate the necessary data sets on the MVS host that need to be in place before using the Zowe CLI commands to copy the files from your local workspace into the pre-allocated data sets and to run the application. The RUNASAM1.jcl will compile, link, and run the programs.

The files created with the ASMALLOC.jcl are:

USER1.SAMPLE.ASMOBJ
USER1.SAMPLE.ASMLOAD
USER1.SAMPLE.ASM
USER1.SAMPLE.ASMCOPY
USER1.SAMPLE.ASM.FILEIN

The application creates a file, USER1.SAMPLE.ASM.FILEOUT.

Sample use case

ASAM1 needs to also write the character string in hexadecimal format. You can accomplish this by creating a new program called ASAM2 to translate the string into hex format and return to ASAM1.

Building and running the HLASM sample files

Follow the same steps as for the COBOL sample above, but replace the respective JCL files with ASMALLOC.jcl and RUNASAM1.jcl.

Results

After you successfully run the programs, you can see these resulting new files of the sample use case from the tutorial-complete branch:

  • ASAM2
  • Updated ASAM1 with the necessary code to complete the use case

Running REXX sample files

Sample files

  • REXX program: RSAM1
  • Data source files: SAMPLE.REXX.FILEIN1.txt and SAMPLE.REXX.FILEIN2.txt
  • JCL member to allocate files necessary to run the exec: REXALLOC. Note: You will need to update the HLQ parm with your TSO user ID.

RSAM1 reads in the records from the SAMPLE.REXX.FILEIN1 and SAMPLE.REXX.FILEIN2 data sets. It will then write them to the output file SAMPLE.REXX.FILEOUT.

The RSMALLOC.jcl file will allocate the necessary data sets on the MVS host that need to be in place before using the Zowe CLI commands to copy the files from your local workspace into the pre-allocated data sets and to run the application.

The files created with the REXALLOC.jcl are:

USER1.SAMPLE.REXX
USER1.SAMPLE.REXX.FILEIN1
USER1.SAMPLE.REXX.FILEIN2
USER1.SAMPLE.REXX.FILEOUT

Sample use case

RSAM1 needs to also display the contents of the output file. You can accomplish this by creating a new subroutine called sub3 to read and display the contents of FILEOUT.

Building and running the REXX examples

Follow the REXX tutorial.

Results

After you successfully run the programs, you can see RSAM1 with the necessary code to complete the use case from the tutorial-complete branch.

Using property groups sample files

Z Open Editor can resolve copybooks and includes that reside on either a local file system or on a remote Z host. You can use the following methods to configure property groups:

Sample property group files are provided for you to experience the copybook and include resolution feature.

The default sample programs, SAM1, PSAM1, and ASAM1 all use include files that are available on your local file system. You can use the property group file called zapp.yaml for resolution, which is already pre-configured with the necessary properties. Remember to update the system name to your Z host and the TSO ID USER1 to your TSO ID.

Sample programs SAM1LIB and PSAM1LIB are provided to demonstrate resolving library-based copybooks and includes from both a local file system and a remote Z host. To resolve copybooks from a local file system, the zapp.yaml file contains the libraries property below. The libraries: name MYFILE matches the library name in the COPY DATETIME IN MYFILE statement in SAM1LIB.

  - name: cobol-local
    language: cobol
    type: local
    syslib:
      - "**/COPYBOOK"
    libraries:
      - name: MYFILE
        locations:
          - "**/COPYLIB"

Resolving copybooks and includes on Z remotely

To resolve library-based copybooks and includes on a remote Z host, take the following steps to take advantage of remote access capabilities. This example uses the RSE REST API.

  1. Create a Zowe CLI profile. For instructions on how to use and set up Zowe CLI profiles, see here for both RSE and z/OSMF.

  2. Create a TSO data set on the remote Z host using the following command:

    zowe rse create pds USER1.SAMPLE.COPYLIB

    Note: This command uses the default values for RECFM (FB), LRECL (80), and Directory Blocks (5).

  3. Upload the copybook and include to the TSO data set.

    zowe rse-api-for-zowe-cli upload file-to-data-set "COPYLIB-MVS/REPTTOTL.cpy" "USER1.SAMPLE.COPYBLIB(REPTTOTL)"
  4. Update the zapp.yaml file property, replacing the system ID and the libraries: locations data set name.

      - name: zowe-mvs-cbl
        language: cobol
        type: mvs
        system: zos1000.example.com
        syslib:
          - USER1.SAMPLE.COBCOPY
        libraries:
          - name: MYLIB
            locations:
              - USER1.SAMPLE.COPYLIB
    

    Note: The libraries: name MYLIB matches the library name in the SAM1LIB copy statement COPY REPTTOTL IN MYLIB.
