Re: replacing a PF

Jim,

In SEU when you select option 14 to compile, you are
prompted at the Confirm Compile of Member screen
whether to delete the existing object.

If you respond No, and the file exists, you get msg
PDM0363: Object &2 of type &3 already exists in &1.
If you respond Yes, the file is deleted (if capable of
being deleted) and then the file is compiled.

Using just the CRTPF command you're right - you have
to delete the file first.  And this seems to be all
that CODE is doing - submitting the CRTPF command.

What I'm after (and hoping to find) is whether the
functionality in SEU to delete the file before
compiling exists in CODE.

If not, can I create my own command and add it to the
list of commands in the CODE Program Generator?
