Re: QCMDEXE behavior modification

I've made an assumption here based on observations, and I may be incorrect
(and most likely am), but I have no other explanation. Hopefully, in as
kind of a manner as is usually displayed in this group, I can be corrected
and put on the right path.

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?
