Eclipse Che4z Explorer for z/OS allows you to remotely view and edit the content of partitioned data sets within the Eclipse Theia IDE. You can create, copy and delete PDS members, and allocate new data sets copying the parameters of a model data set. You can also configure filters to enable fast indexing of large numbers of data sets. You can also enable syntax highlighting for COBOL text by installing the LSP for COBOL extension.

== Hosts

Before you start using Explorer for z/OS, you first create a host connection to the mainframe. This produces a list of all data sets with your user name as the high level qualifier. You can have as many host connections as you need.

=== Create a Host Connection to z/OS

To be able to work with z/OS data sets, a host connection to z/OS is required. A host connection lets you access all data sets stored on the host.

*Follow these steps:*

. In Explorer for z/OS, click *New connection*.
. In z/OS Resource Explorer, click *New connection*.
. Fill in the following fields:
* URL (http://host:port or https://host:port)
* Host name (identifies the mainframe instance). +

=== Create a Member

To create a new member of a PDS, right click on the data set and select *Create Member*. Specify a unique name for the member.

=== Allocate a Data Set

Explorer for z/OS lets you allocate a data set using the parameters of an existing data set as a model. The parameters cannot be edited. As well as partitioned data sets, this functionality is also supported for sequential files, as long as they use tracks (TRK) or cylinders (CYL) as the space allocation unit. VSAM data sets and sequential files that use blocks (BLK) as the space allocation unit are not supported.

To allocate a new data set like a model, right click on the model data set and select *Allocate like*. Specify a unique name for the new data set.

=== Copy a Member

Explorer for z/OS lets you copy members of a data set to another data set or the same data set. The destination data set can be on the same host or a different host.
