Define the language definitions

Language Definitions define the languages and translators that a project uses. SCLM functions invoke translators (such as compilers, parsers, and linkage editors) based on a member's language. The language definition defines the translators used by each language. Each language can have multiple translators defined for it. The translators can be IBM® program products, independent program products, or user-written translators.

IBM provides examples of language definitions for many commonly used languages such as COBOL and PL/I.

All the example language definitions are located in the data set ISP.SISPMACS.

The ISPF Sample and Macro libraries contain a number of other files to support SCLM workstation builds. See ISPF Sample and Macro libraries.

This step describes how to define language definitions to the project definition. When this step is complete, all the languages your project will use will be defined.

To define the language definitions:

Determine what languages are used in your project.
Copy the appropriate example language definitions to the project.PROJDEFS.SOURCE data set allocated in Step 4: Allocate the PROJDEFS data sets.
Modify the language definitions.
If you do not find an example language definition that meets your project requirements, you can write a new language definition. For instructions on defining a new language to SCLM, see Defining a new language to SCLM.

See SCLM macros for details on the use of each SCLM macro.
