RE: Suggestion: File to use when compile

ROFLMAO,
Supposed to be a salute...
Although, with the day I'm having now, it could be either.

Is that a gun to your head or a salute?

That doesn't sound bad.  Run it up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes.

RE: Suggestion: File to use when compile






Thanks for the URL, I'll try submitting a DCR, assuming I can find out
what our IBM customer number is. 

As far as the precompile commands go, I'm not sure why they would be
needed. If you mean that they would be used to handle the fake
filenames, why couldn't the compiler just be told to use the compile
time file name instead of the source code file name. So for example in
the code below, assuming the new keyword is COMPILENAME, when the
compiler ran instead of looking for file CUSMASTDDM, it would look for
file CUSMAST and use it's properties. This would also be very useful for
the new EXTFILE and EXTMBR keywords.

FCUSMAST   IF   E           K DISK 
FCUSMASTDDMIF   E           K DISK    usropn COMPILENAME('CUSMAST')

Some of those sound like simple options that could/should be easily
added. 
 Like a file level keyword for RSTDSP.  Much like RPG's H-spec or SQL's

SET OPTION.  Don't know if a Design Change Request might get the ball 
rolling or not.

But precompile commands, on separate objects might be a bit trickier.
Like 
a CRTPF QTEMP/MYFILE... OVRDBF MYFILE QTEMP/MYFILE...
At least, that should be a separate DCR.

You might be tilting at windmills to try to get IBM to add this in to
the 
commands but it sure can't hurt to try.

RE: Suggestion: File to use when compile






It seems to me that the length of this thread, and the number of
methods
that people use to work around this problem are a perfect
demonstration
of the need for a feature like this.

Of course while requests of this nature are being made, I would love
to
be able to specify options for any of the create commands in the
source
files of the objects being created. For instance size(*NOMAX) in the
source of a physical file, RSTDSP(*YES) DFRWRT(*YES) in the source of
a
display file, or various CRTSRVPGM/UPDSRVPGM options in a binder
language source file.

I would love to have them.  Where/how can I get them?

The CMS we are using have the ability to set up command to run on a
object before compile.  However, that command is printed on every
request, which is pretty annoying.  If I've 100 objects setup to run
some commands before compiled, those 100 commands will be printed on
every request (even those request the doesn't contain any of those 100
objects).

I would be happy to share my precompiler app with anyone who requests
it.

but Henrik's is much
nicer in that you continue to use PDM option 14, and you can prompt
the
compiler command if you want to.
