The Workspace Concept 

A Workspace is an environment in which you develop a single program.  It
is also a file directory which contains all of the source, listing,
object, and program files used for your program.  The Workspace has the
file code TSR when displayed with the :LISTF command.

Creating a Workspace 

Almost all TOOLSET/XL operations require a defined workspace, so upon
logging on and accessing TOOLSET/XL, you must create a workspace or
declare a workspace that is already defined.  To do this, either press
the Workspace function key or enter the WORKSPACE command following the
>> prompt on your screen.

If the Workspace name which you enter does not already exist within the
system, TOOLSET/XL will create the new Workspace as a result of the
following dialogue:

     >>WORKSPACE ONE

     --->Create Workspace One?  YES

     Default language for one?  COBOL


          Figure 1-1.  Defining a Workspace 

When you create a Workspace, the Set Workspace menu of the default
options is displayed.  TOOLSET/XL sets up default object, program, and
directory filenames by appending a U, a P, or a K to the Workspace name.
The default compile priority queue is DS. Any of the defaults may be
changed.  If you choose to supply your own, the filenames must be unique.
When you have selected all of your options, press the Set OK function
key.  The default SET options for Workspace One are:

     RL --> ONEU.group.account

     Prog --> ONEP.group.account

     Listing Directory  ONEK.group.account

             Key file   ONEK1

     Dictionary --> left blank.   DICT.PUB will be used by default.

     Priority --> DS

     Link options --> This field is left blank by default; ONEU is prepared
                      into ONEP with MPE XL default options.

     Run options --> This field is left blank by default; ONEP will be run
                     with MPE XL default options.
