Re:Sending compiler opts to prin

[D.BALE@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Can't do it with PDM option 14.

If you use RLU to develop & modify your printer files, RLU keeps track of the
compile options at the bottom of the printer file's source member.  But you
have to invoke the compile from within the RLU command, you still can't use
PDM option 14.

Gumbo's RDA (Report Design Aid) works the same way.

If you're really ambitious, you could create duplicates of all the
CRT*-compile commands in a library that sits on top of your system library
list and develop your own CPP for these duplicates that can scan for compiler
options in a pre-processor app.  (This has been on my to-do list for several
years.)

Has something like this been published in one of the AS/400 trade rags?

-------------------------- Original Message --------------------------
In RPG I can send a compiler option to the compiler when I compile programs,
like:

 Hoption(*srcstmt:*nodebugio)


Is there a way that I can do the same for a PRTF file? I have a particular
file that must be compiled with different page lengths, and instead of
having to remember and retype the various options for this file, I would
like for the printer to tell the compiler what to do.

Specifically, I need the following options to be executed whenever the file
is compiled:

 PAGESIZE(11 8.5 *UOM) OVRFLW(85)

Is there an easy way to tell the compiler to set these compile options from
within a PRTF file when I compile with option 14?

Thanks!
