#### Library List

Use library list from JOBD When checked, analysis uses the library list from your user profile's job description (JOBD). Uncheck it to define a custom, ordered library list below.
Type an IBM i library name and click Add to append it to the custom library list. Libraries are searched in the order listed.

#### Options

Require sources for files When checked, physical files and tables must have source to be included. When unchecked, sourceless file dependencies are dropped so they do not block the objects that use them. Allow missing file dependencies When checked, a referenced file that cannot be found is reported as a warning instead of a blocking error, so the dependent object still builds. Search for object sources When checked, the analyzer searches for each object's source rather than relying only on the source location recorded with the object. Generate rules for cross-library dependencies When checked, build rules are also generated for dependencies that live in other libraries. When unchecked, only same-library dependencies and objects you selected get rules.
Replace existing Rules.mk content
When unchecked, new rules are merged into existing Rules.mk files: rules for matching targets are replaced and unrelated existing rules are preserved.
