To update service interfaces with source code or property changes

After generating a service interface and then subsequently making changes to the COBOL linkage section or map file used to generate it, or to certain COBOL-related project properties such as character set or platform target (i.e., bitism), use the Refresh Annotations feature to update the service interface with the changes.

1. In Solution Explorer, right-click your project; then click Refresh Annotations for Services.
2. Click either Programs/Copybooks or Maps to populate the list.
   Tip: On the Refresh Annotations dialog box, a red exclamation point icon appears next to programs and copybooks that have had code changes since generating a service interface; a green check mark icon appears next to programs and copybooks that remain unchanged since generating a service interface. You should refresh annotations for each source file that shows .
   Programs and copybooks, or maps that are synchronized with all service interfaces that use them do not require refreshing, and are listed with a green check mark icon to the left .
3. Click each program, copybook, or map you want to refresh, or click Auto Select to select all that contain code that is out of date.
4. Click Refresh; then click Close.
