Re: handling handlers in RPG OA

Tom:

Have you ever seen or heard of the /IF directive in ILE RPG IV?

e.g.:
/if defined(USE_HANDLER)
FMYDSPF01D CF E WORKSTN HANDLER('MYDSPFHNDLR')
/else
FMYDSPF01D CF E WORKSTN
/endif

Then, on the CRTRPGMOD or CRTBNDRPG command, you specify, e.g.:

CRTBNDRPG ... DEFINE('USE_HANDLER')

when you want to compile the version with the handler, otherwise it defaults to the WORKSTN version.

Hope that helps,

I have not been able to find anything on this in my research.

If all you change in your RPG program is to ADD a HANDLER keyword, is there any way to retain one version of the source?
That is, a way you could run the same source with the same WORKSTN file using and not using a handler?

I cannot find a way. /COPY cannot be conditioned that I see. Tried external indicators (I already ate broken glass for even considering this).
Thought maybe could use OVRDSPF file, but did not see a way to do that either.

Thanks. Think Spring!! (unless you are one of those sick people who like cold weather)
