mfexecpp Utility

The mfexecpp utility handles precompiles of PL/I for EXEC CICS, EXEC SQL and EXEC DLI. You can run it directly from an Enterprise Developer command prompt to manage your own build processes. The mfplx utility also runs mfexecpp automatically when used with the -cics, -sql, or -dli parameters. See mfplx Options for details.

Syntax

mfexecpp program-name.pli parameters
