Re: RDi Compile - SQLRPGLE as Module

Since I'm new to compiling in RDi, I wanted to check here first before I created an RFE.

When in an SQLRPGLE source, the compile commands available are:
CRTSQLRPGI (PDM option 14 for SQLRPGLE)
CRTBNDRPG (PDM option 14 for RPGLE)
CRTRPGMOD (PDM option 15 for RPGLE)

What's missing here is PDM option 15 for SQLRPGLE.

The list of compile commands available does seem to be based on the source type, so why not, for SQL, have the following (this is my RFE idea):
CRTSQLRPGI - *PGM (PDM option 14 for SQLRPGLE)
CRTSQLRPGI - *MODULE (PDM option 15 for SQLRPGLE)

I know I can Compile with prompt and change the OBJTYPE to *Module, but I'd have to do that every time, and I'm spoiled by PDM doing it for me.

It could be even smarter (for both RPGLE & SQLRPGLE) and based on the presence of NOMAIN in the source, it can default to the appropriate compile - that way I can simply use the Compile button for my module coding vs the menu.

I have my own compile commands set up for some of this stuff.

crtrpgsqlmod:
CRTSQLRPGI OBJ(&L/&N) SRCFILE(&L/&F) SRCMBR(&N) OBJTYPE(*MODULE)
OPTION(*EVENTF *XREF) RPGPPOPT(*NONE) REPLACE(*YES)
TOSRCFILE(*CURLIB/QSQLTEMP1) COMPILEOPT('DBGVIEW(*LIST)')

rucrttst (for RPGUnit):
RUCRTTST &N COPTION(*EVENTF) /* SRCMBR(&N) */

compile (Alan Campin's pre-processor):
COMPILE/COMPILE OBJ(&L/&N) SRCFILE(&L/&F) SRCMBR(&N) ENV(*GUI)
BATCH(*NO) /* *EVENTF SRCMBR(&N) */

There might be an RFE in this to associate a particular compile command
to a specific library/source_file(source_member). It's cool that RDi
associates by member type, but I use different compile commands
(CRTRPGMOD & CRTBNDRPG) for type RPGLE depending on whether I'm building
a main program or a service program.
