Syncing Source Code

When you start working on a project that resides on an OpenVMS machine, you need to download source files to your local machine. For this,

1. Change the downloadNewFiles option to "overwrite" or "edit"
2. Run "VMS-IDE: Synchronize project files with VMS" command
3. After all project files are downloaded, change the downloadNewFiles option to "skip" or "edit" to prevent silent overwriting of local files.

Managing Project Source Files

You can view and edit all project files from the Explorer view of Visual Studio Code.

Managing the Project

You can manage your VMS project from the Project Explorer view. To open the view, click Project Explorer icon on the Activity Bar

Managing Dependencies

Use the Project Dependencies panel to manage project dependencies. Assuming that you want to add "Project B" to "Project A" dependencies,

1. Select "Project A" in the Project Dependencies panel
2. Right-click "Project B", and select "Add in dependencies to selected" item from the context menu.
