Library for ICF files (ICFLIB)

Specifies the library containing the ICF record format definitions to be used with the program.

ICF-library-name

Enter the name of the library for ICF files.

Replace program (REPLACE)

Specifies whether or not a new program object is to be created if a program with the same name already exists in the specified library.

*YES

A new program object will be created and any existing program object of the same name in the specified library will be moved to library QRPLOBJ.

*NO

A new program object will not be created if a program object of the same name exists in the specified library.

Target release (TGTRLS)

Specifies the release of the operating system on which you intend to use the object being created. In the examples given for the *CURRENT and *PRV values, and when specifying the target-release value, the format VxRxMx is used to specify the release, where Vx is the version, Rx is the release, and Mx is the modification level. For example, V2R3M0 is version 2, release 3, modification level 0.

Valid values for this parameter change every release.

The possible values are:

*CURRENT

The object is to be used on the release of the operating system currently running on your system. For example, if V2R3M5 is running on the system, *CURRENT means that you intend to use the object on a system with V2R3M5 installed. You can can also use the object on a system with any subsequent release of the operating system installed.

*PRV

The object is to be used on the previous release with modification level 0 of the operating system. For example, if V2R3M5 is running on your system, *PRV means you intend to use the object on a system with V2R2M0 installed. You can also use the object on a system with any subsequent release of the operating system installed.

target-release

Specify the release in the format VxRxMx. You can use the object on a system with the specified release or with any subsequent release of the operating system installed.

Valid values depend on the current version, release, and modification level, and they change with each new release. If you specify a release-level that is earlier than the earliest release level supported by this command, an error message is sent indicating the earliest supported release.

Note: The program may be able to be restored on a release level earlier than the one you specified on the create command. Use DSPPGM to determine the earliest release the program can run.

User profile (USRPRF)

Specifies the user profile that the compiled RPG program is to run under.

*USER

Uses the program user's profile when the program runs.

*OWNER

Uses the user profiles of both the program's owner and user when the program runs. The USRPRF parameter will not be updated if the program already exists.

Authority (AUT)

Specifies what authority is granted for the program.

*LIBCRTAUT

The default public authority for created objects is taken from the CRTAUT keyword which is associated with the target library. The value is determined at create time. If the value of the CRTAUT keyword of the library changes after the create, the new value will not affect any existing objects.

*ALL

Complete authority for the program except for transferal of object ownership.

*CHANGE

All operations are permitted except those dealing with the object's existence and its management.

*USE

Permission to read or run the compiled program, but not to debug or to change it.

Note: A user must have *USE authority to a program to obtain a formatted dump of the variables of the program. To dump variables, the program must also have observable information.

If you do not want some users to be able to dump the variables, then give them only *OBJOPR plus *EXECUTE authority to the program. This will allow them to call the program but not dump its variables.

If you do not want any users to be able to dump the variables, then use Change Program (CHGPGM) to remove the program's observable information.

*EXCLUDE

No authority.

authorization-list

The name of the authorization list which secures the object. The public authority will be *AUTL.

Phase trace (PHSTRC)

Specifies whether trace information about the compiler phases will be included in the listing.

*NO

Does not provide compiler phase information.

*YES

Provides compiler phase information.

Intermediate text dump (ITDUMP)

Produces a dynamic listing of intermediate text for the specified compiler phases.

*NONE

Does not produce an intermediate text dump.

phase-name

Enter the fourth and fifth characters of from 1 to 25 phase names.

Snap dump (SNPDUMP)

Produces a listing of major data areas and intermediate text following compilation of one or more specified phases.

*NONE

Does not produce a snap dump.

phase-name

Enter the fourth and fifth characters of from 1 to 25 phase names.

Codelist (CODELIST)

Causes dynamic listing of the intermediate representation of a program (IRP) for the specified compiler phases.

*NONE

Does not produce IRP listings.

*ALL

Produces an IRP listing for each compiler phase.

phase-name

Enter the fourth and fifth characters of from 1 to 25 phase names.

Fix decimal data (FIXDECDTA)

Specifies whether decimal data which is not valid is corrected or an error is signaled.

*YES

Corrects data which is not valid by setting digit values in the range A through F to zero, and not valid signs to plus.

*NO

Signals an error to the program without correcting the data which is not valid.

Examples

Example 1: Compiling a Source Program into a Program Object

CRTS36RPG   PGM(MYLIB/XMPLE1)
            SRCFILE(MYLIB/QS36SRC)  SRCMBR(XMPLE1)
            OPTION(*SOURCE)  TEXT('My RPG II program')

This command calls the System/36 Compatible RPG II compiler to create a program named XMPLE1. The source program is in member XMPLE1 of source file QS36SRC in library MYLIB. A compiler listing is created.
