Compile with Source and defaults

This is part of my RPG Utils series to help overcome some of the day-to-day activities which can be automated.

We usually compile our objects in source while testing. Also, there are some parameters that we need to change everytime before compilation. This program will help you with that.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

You need to have AS400 Machine access (duh!)
Create a RPGUtils Source File to store the files.

CRTSRCPF RPGUTILS

Program and Object Descriptions

• UCOMPILE
  This is the main program.

• UCOMPCMD
  Driver command source file.

Installing

Step 1. Upload all files to AS400 server, use ftp. DO NOT CHANGE THE MODE TO BINARY.

  open pub400.com
  username
  password
  cd /QSYS.LIB
  cd YOURLIB.LIB
  cd RPGUTILS.FILE
  mput *.MBR
  disconnect
  quit

Step 2. Change the atribute type accordingly once uploaded.

  UCOMPILE    CLLE    
  UCOMPCMD    CMD     

Step3. Use below command to compile.

CRTBNDCL PGM(YOURLIB/UCOMPILE) SRCFILE((YOURLIB/RPGUTILS) SRCMBR(UCOMPILE) REPLACE(*NO)               

CRTCMD CMD(YOURLIB/UCOMPILE) PGM(*LIBL/UCOMPILE) SRCFILE(YOURLIB/RPGUTILS) SRCMBR(UCOMPCMD) REPLACE(*YES)  

Step4. Add new user option.

Enter command WKRMBRPDM and then goto user options using F16.
Press F6 to add a new user option.
Set Option as CP. (Instead of CP, you can use any aything that you want for option.)
Set Command as UCOMPILE(&L &F &N &S)

Running

Now, instead of compiling with Option 14, you can use CP to compile with your own options.
