Re: help in start a first RPGLE program!!

The job might be gone by now - if the spooled files are deleted, then the job goes away. I would be surprised if the spooled file is not there from a compile.

OK, when you get the message, try this - go into your source, either a 2 option or a 5. Once there, press F15 and set the selection to a 2 for Spool file. Press Enter. If the spooled file exists, you should be returned to your source with a split screen - source above, spooled file below. If so, put *err where the cursor is and press F16 - this will bring you to whatever errors there are.

If when you set selection to 2, you get a number of fields in reverse image, then go to the "Browse spool file" line and press F4 - this will get you a list of spooled files - look for the last one that has the name of your program - put a 1 on it and press Enter. Press Enter again. Then do the thing with *err.

If it's not there at all, something is wrong with your setup for jobs. In that case, in SEU, press F18 - this is where you choose how things are compiled - there is an option to compile in batch - for right now, set that to N - then press Enter to set the value.

After you use F14 to compile, your job should not end, we hope. If it does, you REALLY have a problem, because failed compiles just don't kill your job. If your job is still up, then do what I said above - use the F15, etc.

You really should get one of those tutorials. They will guide you - or the Brian Kelly book that Scott mentions on his site. There are a lot of things you need to know - like how to use SEU effectively, etc. Here is a manual for just SEU - http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/topic/books/c0926050.pdf

Ok so look at your spool files (WRKSPLF). You should have some named
P1, those will be the compiler listings. Look in there to find our
why your compile failed.

Another way to see the spool file is to follow the instructions given
in the recovery part of the message.

For one thing, the double quotes are not valid; should be single quotes. Which would result in a compile error. There should be a compilation listing somewhere; try using WRKSPLF.

If the abend was a result of an executing program, there would have been an error message (usually a CPFxxxx). In that case, position the cursor to the error message, press F1 and display the message details. Frequently there are preceding messages which tell the "real" story; pressing F10 (display job log) will display your current job's log.

That's the Reader's Digest version. Go from there.

I once (and only once) wrote the (in)famous "Hello World" program in Java. But only after sitting through a class (no pun intended).

Adam already indicated that the question was ill-formed. Did the program compile, or is the compilation crashing? If the program compiled, what error message(s) do you get?

As far as the rules are concerned, the RPG Manual might be a good place to start; in fact, next to Barbara, Simon, and Scott, it's the gospel. For V5R4 you can download a copy of the manual and various other useful reference guides. If you are just learning RPG (any flavor) the manual is a lousy place to start.

Hope this helps.
