Re: Technology refresh enhancements for free-form statements

Would it make it easier for him if you had him set up connections for the
various library lists needed? That's what I do. Of course, we also have
a command (well, a set of commands) to manage pre-defined sets of library
lists. For me, each connection specifies the library list using our
home-grown utility. You could call a CL or specify the library list
directly.

There can be one gotcha with this. If source gets opened under the wrong
connection, the compile fails due to file(s) not found. It also messes up
the RPG outline--again, because of the files not in the library list.
There's no way to tell from the editor as to what connection was used to
open the source. No different, I suppose, than forgetting to run the CL
command and change the library list using a single connection.

Re: [WDSCI-L] Technology refresh enhancements for free-form statements

Vern,

Yes! Cool!

I am a Turnover Administrator at my company. I have one Developer
who has to do updates/customization to a vendor package. We have a
turnover application defined for the library-list. He was asking me
about the different library-lists...

So, on the Turnover Work-List, you are doing Right-Click, and
"Compile". When I do that I only get return errors, not the lines
with errors...

I am trying to get this developer to use Rational Developer with the
Turnover Plug-in. and he is going to be asking me about the library-
list for his different applications...

I was going to recommend to him, that he call CL-programs from the
view: Command log. And that way he could easily on the fly adjust
his library-list. His different applications have many different
library-list. Sadly, it is sort of complicated. Maybe I can write a
CL program to pass the Turnover application to set the library-List
to the Turnover application. That way the library List will be set
up properly!

Ken

The error list shows up when using the RSE compile options - it
doesn't when compiling with Turnover - I'm used to that, since it
manages the library list nicely, putting my development library at
the top, or reasonably near, anyhow.

So it's a config issue with Turnover - outside of Turnover, all
works as you describe.

And I love having those errors easily available.

I also like to do compiles immediately (interactively).

Seems we're on the same basic track, eh?

Cheers
Vern

Vern,

I compile in my batch running for Rational Developer.
(I think the background jobs runs in subsystem: QUSRWRK Job: QRWTSRVR)

Windows>preferences>Remote Systems>IBM i>Command Execution -->

UNCHECK "Compile in Batch"

For regular Compiles Ctrl+shift+C, my Error listing ALWAYS pops up.
Even if I close down that View: "Error List". <Joy Joy>

For i-Projects, I change it here:

Windows>preferences>iProjects>Build and Compile --> UNCHECK "Run

compiles as batch jobs"

Basically, I get immediate feedback on my compiles, normally in

5-30 seconds! Depending of the size of the program being compiled!

Just thought you might want to try playing with those settings.

Just to see if that works for you!

:)

I did notice in my "work with compile Commands" that I have the

"OPTION(*EVENTF)" on all my compile commands. I think they were
added there by default. Because I don't remember adding that option...

When I compile inside my library, I use the Rational Developer

Compiler, not the Turnover Compile option. Just use to that...

Anyway, you just might have a setting wrong, if your error list

does NOT automatically pop-up!

<grin>
