Hi Todd

there are 4 pre-defined variables that you can use. Assuming I am building a GML member called BLZABOUT these  values will contain the following:

@{source.member.name}  returns BLZABOUT
@{source.dataset}  returns MYPREFIX.RC0TEST.GML(BLZABOUT)
@{source.project} returns MortgageApplication-Common
@{source.component} returns Mortgage Application

In addition there is a deprecated version of the source member:

@{source.member}  return (BLZABOUT) note the brackets around the member. Probably not that useful.

Additionally you can reference any property you have defined as a build property using the ${build.property} construct. There are actually 2 commonly used build properties that don't appear in the build properties list, well commonly used by us in our builds, called:

${team.enterprise.scm.resourcePrefix} returns MYPREFIX.RC0TEST
${team.enterprise.scm.fetchDestination} returns /u/myuser/RC0-Test

These 2 build properties are derived from the Load Directory and Resource Prefix in the Jazz Source Control section of a build. The difference between the build properties and the pre-defined variables mentioned previously is that the build properties will be the same for all of the members being built, whereas the 4 pre-defined variables will vary from member to member.

Finally from v4 onwards we also added user translator variables. You will see at the bottom of the translator definition a variables section where you speciafy a name/value pair for example DEBUG/NOTEST. You then reference the variable in the options using $DEBUG. For example I have in my default options of my compiler the following:

LIB,DYNAM,CICS,&DEBUG

You can then override this variable at a file level in the properties of an individual file.

Most of this is documented here:

Is it possible to get the data set name property from the data set definition? like get GML from MYPREFIX.RC0TEST.GML(BLZABOUT) ?

Hi Xin Jin,

There is no property directly however you may be able to programmatically derive the low level qualifier from a combination of other properties.

In your example data set MYPREFIX.RC0TEST.GML(BLZABOUT)  the following properties return the following values:

${resourcePrefix}                     - MYPREFIX.RC0TEST (In the case of a personal build)
${resourceTeamPrefix}            - MYPREFIX.RC0TEST (If the team data set is to be used)
@{source.dataset}                   - MYPREFIX.RC0TEST.GML

So by subtracting the prefix from the complete data set name you end up with what is in the data set definition.

For more information on build properties see this wiki page : https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/EEBuildPropertiesExplained

@{source.dataset}  returns MYPREFIX.RC0TEST.GML(BLZABOUT)
