Find Record Layouts

Find Record Layout locates the COBOL copybook for a dataset record layout. It requires CICS and RSE endpoints on the same host.

1. Open OL-DS-SERVER dataset content and select Find Record Layout.
2. Enter the source PDS and, if necessary, a separate records-source PDS.
3. Select Search.
4. Review the CICS-file, program, record, and copybook resolution path.
5. Preview and apply the discovered layout.

The server resolves the dataset through CMCI, searches source through RSE, parses the COBOL program, and retrieves the copybook.

From a dataset search containing type-C association datasets, use Batch Find Record Layout to process several candidates asynchronously. Monitor progress from the application header, then select only the successful results to save as catalog associations.
