You can set IMS properties that apply to all files in your project from the project properties: 
               	 
            
 
            	  
            	 
             
               		
               - Click the project in COBOL Explorer. 
                  		
               
  
               		
               - Click 
                  		  Project > Properties. 
                  		
               
  
               		
               - Expand 
                  		  Micro Focus > Project Settings, and expand 
                  		  IMS to view the IMS-specific project properties. 
                  		
               
  
               	 
            
 
            	 
            Files in your project inherit the properties set for the entire project. If you set individual file properties, these settings
               override the properties set on project level: 
               	 
            
 
            	 
             
               		
               - In 
                  		  COBOL Explorer, right-click a 
                  		  .dbd, 
                  		  .mfs or a 
                  		  .psb file, and click 
                  		  Properties. 
                  		
               
  
               		
               - In the file properties dialog, specify settings and type Compiler directives as required. 
                  		
               
  
               		
               - Click 
                  		  Apply, and then click 
                  		  OK.
