You can run the DFSTRCL utility to process a single debug information (.idy) file. Alternatively, you can configure DFSTRCL to perform batch processing using a parameters file passed at the command
line using the /r parameter. You can use a parameters file that contains a maximum of 100
.idy files.
Syntax:
dfstrcl idy_file.idy {/a|/d record_name} [/o str_file] [/r param_file.ext] [/?]
Parameters:
- idy_name.idy
- The name of the COBOL debug information (.idy) file. Optionaly, you can provide it prefixed with a relative or absolute file path.
- /a
- The first 01-level group in the
.idy file is used for the default layout. If you use this option, you do not need to specify /d
record_name.
- /d
record_name
- The default record layout name to be used from the debug information file.
- /o
str_file
- Optional, the name for the output record layout (.str) file . The default is the basename of the
.idy file with a
.str extension.
Note: If the output filename does not include a
.str extension it will be appended to the filename specified.
- /r
param_file.ext
- Optional, the parameters filename. The parameters file can contain
.idy file names to process and optional /d and /o parameters. Using a parameters file enables you to process multiple
.idy files.
Note: The parameters file may contain up to a maximum of 100 debug information (.idy) files.
