Welcome!

-1 when i click in "compile with prompt", the command prompt appears after
many seconds (i use VPN to connect to Ibm i)

I have never tried RDP over a VPN. When I 'Compile with prompt' it
takes about 2 seconds for RDP to go get the command from IBM i and
present it to me.

I usually compile by Ctrl-Shift-C. Before doing this, I set up a
compile command that has all of the normal settings I would have had to
prompt for. For instance, DBGVIEW(*LIST). Now I hardly ever need to
prompt a compile. Compile with prompt... > Work with Compile Commands.
You can right click an existing command and copy it, or you can just
edit the existing command to add the defaults you need.

-2 when i execute the CRTSRVPGM to see if it ahs been created i nedd to show
the "Command logs"

Yes, this is normal. I usually look at the compiler listing on the
green screen.

3- How to menage the compilation's spool files ; i would like after
successed compile delete the compiltaion's spool file

I use the green screen to delete spooled files I no longer want. I
don't try to do everything in RDP. Mostly, I'm writing back end
programs that will run on green screen. I need to test these programs -
on the green screen. So it seems normal for me to Alt-Tab between RDP
and the green screen.

If you want to work with spooled files inside of RDP, Softlanding have a
free plugin that you can install that will do that. I'm ashamed to
admit that I have it and rarely use it! Old habits.

is there any way to run faster the "compiler with prompt ?

I wish I knew more about running over VPN.
