Re: Conditional Compiler Directives and CRTSQLRPGI

Barbara,
I began working on another service program that we are converting from
straight RPGLE to SQLRPGLE.
We have Conditional Compiler Directives etc.. as stated below.   I tried
using the /INCLUDE compiler directive in place of the /COPY.   SEU no
longer recognizes this compiler directive (where it once did).  The
difference is, we are now at V4R5M0.  Is there a PTF we need to apply? Or,
is there a reason this is no longer supported?

Thanks,
Brian Ellis.

Brian, there IS a PTF that alleviates this problem.  The PTF allows you
to use /INCLUDE instead of /COPY.  When SQL sees the /INCLUDE, it doesn't
open up the copy file.

You can use /INCLUDE in both RPG and SQLRPGLE code.  In SQLRPGLE code, you
would only use /COPY when you wanted SQL to see the code.

The PTFs are:
VRM420  SF62167 - available
VRM440  SF61918 - available within the next few days, I hope

The TGTRLS(*PRV) PTFs are not available yet.  SEU and CODE/400 will not
recognize /INCLUDE until
a future non-PTF release.
