Re: front end RPG MI program -- MI400

Emil,

I concur with what Kaare says. It is not always easy to decipher an MI compiler listing (or "translator" if you will), but there are several options on the "Create MI Program" API that make it easier (which are also options on Leif's CRTMIPGM command).

By the way, there should be a printout associated with the job in which you ran the CRTMIPGM command, which would be output from the API. That should show the line number in the source MI program where the compiler finds the error. Again, I suspect it would be line one.

Hello Emil,

Explanation of below error message CPF6301:

As I understand it, the original purpose of the MI translator was to
translate (= compile) the IRP code generated by high-level compilers like
COBOL and RPG.

Therefore, if the MI-translator finds an error in the input, the thought is
that it must be caused by an error in the COBOL or RPG compiler that
generated the input to the MI translator. Hence the message text "Probable
compiler error".

Therefore, CPF6301 does NOT mean that there is an error in the MI
"compiler", which IBM prefers to call translator (so that it is not confused
with high level language compilers).

If you write your own MI program and get CPF6301 then you can remain assured
that YOU caused the error yourself.

Look in the source listing of your MI program, and you will probably find
the error messages.

If not then they will be in your job log.

Good luck!

Damn. When he said it was off list I though he was going to say something
interesting...like Jill Hennesey's home phone # or perhaps how the new v6r1
stuff works under the covers...

Yes boys and girls, when you goto v6r1 the conversions going to be kinda
like going from CISC to RISK - on a conceptual basis...they've redone a
lot...but the conversion instructions are a lot smaller than the NY city
phone book...:)

OH! And, then there's blade....finally...just when the product is about to
die... :)

Nite...

Hi Emil,

This is a private reply to you, "off list" for now.

As you might have noticed, the MI list is about dead. Everybody wants to
master Java and C# now, including myself.

Since I am unemployed right now (due to a choice to move away from my dream

job back to my family), I can help you with the errors if you like. Sounds

like RPG errors; I have *lots* of experience in that. On the MI side, I am

not an expert, but have at least mananged to compile and run every MI
program that I have tackled. Nothing too fancy. And of course, getting

the

MI precompiler part to work should be no problem.

MI is a useful exercise in understanding a bit better how the iSeries works

"under the covers", but it's probably not a practical business skill
anymore! Fun though.

Let me know if you want my help. A text file of your Error log would be a
good start.

thanks

Hi folks,
I copy and past the RPG front-end MI compiler of Leif Svalgaard.
When I run it on an V5R3 Os I have 5 errors without logs.
Have u an idea ?
Thanks.
