Hi Duane

Some things get submitted - and compiles can be one of those things. It's a guess on my part, however. I mean, PDM options should not have an effect on the actual CRT commands.

Now RDI does have a setting in what, the Commands subsystem, to run things in batch, hence, a different job.

I wonder about the assumption - QCMDEXE does keep things at the same call level, IIRC, but it doesn't start a different job.

Do you know the job number? Can you DSPJOB using that number?

I'm also curious about doing the compile - C-spec created variables can be ascertained just by scanning the source, right? I've not had reason to look, so I ask, what does the compile give you that is more informative? That would be cool stuff to learn about!

Regards
Vern

I've created an SQL based RPGLE program that I use to convert RPG IV to RPG Free. In it, I utilize the SYSTEM() function to compile the original source, copy the spooled file to a source file member, and search for various information like c-spec created variables. The problem is that when running the program using the RDI "user action", the compile spool file job number is not the same as the job number of the job that issued the "user action".

I don't know why, but it uses a job associated with my user id, but not one of the current active jobs. Not sure what job that is and why it uses it. Nor do I know how to discover what the spool file job number is.

I believe that this is also an issue with other development environments other that RDI, so I don't think it's an "RDI" problem, but one associated with SYSTEM() and similar. I haven't tried QCMDEXE to see if that is different. Maybe I should?

Any known answers?
