Re: VS Code for RPG

Jon

I downloaded what appears to be 2 versions of the RPG editor. The halcyon version and Niels Liisberg's version. I do not know if they are the same editor downloaded from different places.

The version I get to load in VS Code has a icon on the left side with IBM i showing up when I hover over it. I do not see where it shows the version I am using.

This morning I started VS Code and found that my library with the source files were gone. I do not see how to make them stay permanently in the list under member browser.

I found the json edit and added my library list and source files. I believe what I am seeing is Code for IBM i.

So far so good.

Thanks for the help so far.

I don't understand the first question Darryl. When you open a source in VS Code with the added IBM i features it will recognize the source type. You don't have to decide an editor - there is really only one.

As to compile commands I thought the instruction on how to modify those were on the plug-ins home page?

This is what I see: (It iOS also in the VS Code settings for the plugin.

How do I compile my source code?

• Edit your library list in the 'Code for IBM i' Settings (comma delimited list)
• Edit the compile settings in JSON format in the 'Code for IBM i' Settings too. You can define what commands to use for the compilations.
• Open the source you want to compile
• Use Ctrl+E or Cmd+E to compile your source.
• If you have more than one compile option available to you for the type of source, it will prompt you
• If you are using *EVENTF, it should automatically load the error listing in the Problems tab.

I got something to run. How do I tell which RPG editor I am using?

Whichever I have running, it there a way to add a new Action? I would
like to add my own compile command plus a few others. Can this be done?

TIA

You need a SSH daemon running. Probably need to install 5733SC1 if you
don't have SSH yet:

5733SC1 *INSTALLED IBM Portable Utilities for i
5733SC1 *INSTALLED OpenSSH, OpenSSL, zlib

And then you can install the IBMi open source package management via ACS.

What licensed product is required to get the SSH Daemon started? I get
a TCP1A0A reason code 0005 when I start STRTCPSVR *SSHD. Which option
number is required to get this started?

Thanks
