Re: Compiling With Overrides

What we currently do
is have a table with the program names and from and to file names and
call a CL to enter in the source name, library, object library and
program type and the compile statement is built on the fly with the
proper overrides.  Since that is an interactive program I can't do that
in RSE.  Is there some way to emulate this?

You could create a CMD object as a front-end to the CL, and use the User 
Action functionality of RSE to call that CMD from RSE.  This is similar to 
a PDM option.  You could also call the command directly from the iSeries 
Commands Log.  If the CL uses a DSPF, you would have to modify the CL to 
not use the DSPF, or create a non-display version.  This gets around the 
interactive restriction because RSE has the ability to retrieve the prompt 
info for a CMD and present it as a dialogue for you to fill out.  If the 
parameters are uniquely determined by the library, source file and member 
name, you can also have the User Action automatically pass those values to 
your CMD, just like a PDM option.
