Re: VS Code for RPG

OK - these are not "editors".

The Halcyon plug in ("Code for IBM i") provides connection services and the ability to do the equivalent of WRKMBRPDM for source files and WRKLNK for the IFS.

That plug-in states in its instructions "Install IBMi Languages <https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=barrettotte.ibmi-languages> first!" - IBM i languages is a different plugin for colorization etc. of RPG and CL in the editor.

Niels' plugin provides similar capability to the combination of the other two in a single plug-in but I think can only edit and compile from the IFS.

So you should probably uninstall Niels' plugin and add the IBM i Languages since it is a pre-req for Code for IBM i.

OK?

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
