Customizing for processing PL/I include books

File Manager provides an internal PL/I compiler that is used regardless of any external PL/I compiler previously installed.

If you want to use File Manager view, edit, copy, print, or data create functions with a PL/I include book, you must use the Language Environment® runtime library.

To ensure that you use the correct Language Environment® runtime, either add the Language Environment® runtime library, SCEERUN, to your LINKLIST, or add it to the STEPLIB DD statement in your TSO logon procedure.
