RELATED IDEAS

Launch “User Build” for more than one cobol program at a time.

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

It would be very useful to be able to run the “DBB” for more than one program at a time. That is, select two or more cobol programs, right click and launch a dependency based build for these two selected programs.
I understand the problem with the DBB wizard as the two selected cobol programs may not have the same dependencies, so one idea would be that this process would only apply if the dependencies you choose in the “Additional files to load” screen are the same for the initially selected programs.

A real use case that happens in our organization and in many others, is a change in a copy that affects dozens (or hundreds) of programs. Currently, the only way to compile with USerBuild to see if the programs affected by the copy change are still compiling, would be to go one by one and launch a USerBuild for each program, which as I say, can be hundreds.

Greetings and thanks
