Go to the Infocentre, walk the tree on the left hand side: Programming, RPG,
ILE.  Then the right side will show you the RPG Reference link (in HTML):
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/v5r1/ic2924/books/c0925083217.

Depends on the release level of the compiler and the options you want to
use.  The one I want to see is DBGVIEW(*LIST) but it hasn't made it yet.
What I do (when I can't use Code400) is specify that as a comment in the
source and use copy/paste to put it on the PDM compile:
H DFTACTGRP(*NO) ACTGRP('QILE') BNDDIR('QC2LE')
 * DBGVIEW(*list) TGTRLS(V4R2M0)

Before I leave SEU, I go back to the top, copy the "DBGVIEW(*list)
TGTRLS(V4R2M0)" and exit SEU.  Then I take option 14 and paste it on the
command line at the bottom of the PDM list.  No prompting.  All of this is
made easier for me because I have assigned the standard Windows copy/paste
keys in my CAE session (CTRL+C = Copy, CTRL+V = Paste.)
