Re: help !! output screen disapear soon .

Hi

I got an account, just went into PDM and edited an RPGLE source member named TEST - basically used the code here - left the option to compile in batch set to 'Y'. Put a 14 on the source member, hit enter - actually I put dbgview(*all) on the command line, but that is not relevant here - a message appeared that said the program was created successfully. Then I put a C on the source member option & hit enter - it put "hello world" up on the display and waited for me to hit Enter. Later I went out to the opening menu and typed CALL TEST on the command line, pressed enter, same thing - text displayed and it waited for me to hit Enter.

So I suggest that you get things reset to how they are originally - I think there is an option on the web page to do that. Carefully read the instructions in the 2nd email you got - it gave you your login information and lots of other stuff. And look at the FAQ on the site - there is more stuff there - although there is an error about the QAUOOPT file - we are not authorized to the one in QGPL library, so we can't duplicate it - have to use CPYF.

By the way, your keystrokes are buffered - be sure not to keep hitting Enter when things appear slow, if they do.

Also, I hope the way I described things here - that it shows you how to tell us what is going on - tell us what options you took, all that kind of thing. I hope this was complete enough, folks!!

You really have to give us code - we can't do a thing with this question except waste our time guessing - we are very willing to help, we just have to have a fair chance to do it.

Don't assume we know anything about what you are doing!!!
