Check out section 3.1 of the RPG/400 User's Guide (Document Number:
SC09-1816-00)

3.1 Create RPG400 Program (CRTRPGPGM) Command

   To compile an RPG/400 source program into a program object, you must enter 
   the CL command CRTRPGPGM (Create RPG/400 Program) to call the RPG/400 
   compiler.  RPG/400 program objects are created with the public authority 
   of *LIBCRTAUT.  You may want to change this authority to maintain greater 
   security on your system. 

   If the RPG/400 compiler stops because of errors, the escape message 
   QRG9001 is issued.  A CL program can monitor for this exception by using 
   the CL command MONMSG (Monitor Message).  See Chapter 4, "Error Messages, 
   Testing, and Debugging." 

   The compiler creates and updates a data area with the status of the last 
   compilation.  This data area is named RETURNCODE, is 400 characters long,
   and is placed into library QTEMP.  You can access the RETURNCODE data area 
   by specifying RETURNCODE in factor 2 of an *NAMVAR DEFN statement.  The 
   data area RETURNCODE has the following format:
