The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
That exactly matches my opinion. But the STRPREPRC utility was born in
2000, when there were only a few H-spec keywords. Furthermore it is a
universal utility that can also be used with other source types, such as
DSPF and PRTF or PGM and SRVPGM.
Last but not least you can use it to "compile" non-source objects, such
as data areas like this:
/*---------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* STRPREPRC Compile Options: */
/* >>PRE-COMPILER<< */
/* >>CRTCMD<< CRTCLPGM PGM(QTEMP/&OB) + */
/* SRCFILE(&SL/&SF) SRCMBR(&SM); */
/* >>COMPILE<< */
/* >>PARM<< TEXT('Creates: iSphere Version Data Area'); */
/* >>END-COMPILE<< */
/* >>EXECUTE<< */
/* >>CMD<< CALL PGM(QTEMP/&OB) PARM(&LI &OB); */
/* >>CMD<< DLTPGM PGM(QTEMP/&OB); */
/* >>END-PRE-COMPILER<< */
/*---------------------------------------------------------------*/
PGM PARM(&LIB &OBJ)
/* Statements to create a data area */
ENDPGM
Last but not least it can add its job log messages to the EVFEVENT file,
which is useful when "compiling" programs and service programs or any
other non-source objects.
From the point of view of our development team there must be no objects
without source. So we needed a utility, such as STRPREPRC, for compiling
our non-source objects as well as for display and printer files.

My general recommendation is, anything that can be specified on an H-spec or CTL-OPT should be specified there, rather than "externally" (e.g. using a preprocessor, etc.)
