<h1 class="topictitle1">Create an object using a source file</h1>
<div><p>You can use a create command to create an object using a source
file. If you create an object using a source file, you can specify the name
of the source file on the create command.</p>
<p>For example, to create a control language program, you use the Create Control
Language Program (CRTCLPGM) command. A create command specifies
through a SRCFILE parameter where the source is stored.</p>
<p>The create commands are designed so that you do not have to specify source
file name and member name if you follow this procedure:</p>
<ol><li>Use the default source file name for the type of object you are creating.
To find the default source file name for the command you are using, see IBM-supplied
source files.</li>
<li>Give the source member the same name as the object to be created.</li>
</ol>
<div class="p">For example, to create the control language (CL) program PGMA using the
command defaults, you can type: <pre>CRTCLPGM PGM(PGMA)</pre>
</div>
<p>The system would expect the source for PGMA to be in the PGMA member in
the QCLSRC source file. The library containing the QCLSRC file would be determined
by the library list.</p>
<div class="p">As another example, the following Create Physical File (CRTPF) command
creates the file DSTREF using the database source file FRSOURCE. The source
member is named DSTREF. Because the SRCMBR parameter is not specified, the
system assumes that the member name, DSTREF, is the same as the name of the
object being created. <pre>CRTPF FILE (QGPL/DSTREF) SRCFILE(QGPL/FRSOURCE)</pre>
</div>
</div>

<ul class="ullinks">
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbafosrccb.htm">Create an object from source statements in a batch job</a></strong><br />
If your create command is contained in a batch job, you can use an inline data file as the source file for the command.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbaforlsao.htm">Determine which source file member was used to create an object</a></strong><br />
When an object is created from source, the information about the source file, library, and member is held in the object. The date and time that the source member was last changed before object creation is also saved in the object.</li>
