Problem:

How do you add a control member (*.CTL) into an MFE project to use as a SYSIN member?

Resolution:

MFE supports JCL files referencing Control Cards in the JCL as members of a PDS. To add the member to a PDS in your MFE project, follow these instructions:

1. Click the Catalog tab on the Project View to see the Catalog View.

2. Right-click the partitioned data set (PDS) into which you want to add one or more members, then click Add Members to PDS-name.

3. Select the type of file that you want to add from the Files of type list.

4. Select the folder that contains the files from either the Add from list or the recent folders list.

5. Click the file you want to add. To add more than one file, press Ctrl and click each file in turn. The files you select must use the same record format, record length and character set as the PDS.

6. To specify a folder for the copied files, check Copy into folder and either select a folder from the list or browse to find it.

7. Click Add to add the selected files into the PDS. If you want to add files from another folder, repeat steps 4 through 7. Click Done.
