The word that jumps out at me is "precompiler". Would it be possible to
have a precompiler on the RPG side of things? Or maybe there already is one
- unless CRTRPGMOD is considered the precompiler.

I don't know how the SQL prep works, but generally, the RPG command options that you can't code on the H-Spec are disallowed there because we're already knee deep into the compile already. In particular, when you specify a different release on the CRTBNDRPG or CRTRPGMOD command, a completely different program is invoked to compile the source code. Since the H-Spec's are compiled by that source code, it's meaningless to specify which version to use on the H-Spec.


I suppose when the H-Spec parsing sees that a different compiler version is requested, we could abandon the compile and tell the command to invoke a different version of compiler. But then, how would the compiler handle the following H-Specs:

H/if defined(*V5R2M0)
H   TGTRLS(*V5R1M0)
H/elseif defined(*V5R1M0)
H   TGTRLS(*V5R2M0)
H/endif
H*         ;-)

Aaron: Where did I mention the word "precompiler"? Or is that just some sort of wishful thinking on your part?


Cheers! Hans
