1/15

Create Libraries,Source Files,physical files

CRTLIB

used to create a new Library

Press F4

To work with libraries

WRKLIB

you can create,change,copy,delete,display,....the library.


2/15

Create a Source file

Source files are sub folders which contains source members that are source files to a program.

CRTSRCPF

PRESS F4

Then it will create a source physical file inside the specified library.

(eg:- STUDY8014)

to create source members we have to go inside the created source physical file.

To do that press WRKMBRPDM + F4

press enter to go inside the source folder


3/15

To create a physical file

physical files are sources for the database tables. These physical files contains the actual data. the type

of these objects are PF.

After go to the pdm by using WRKMBRPDM then press F6 to create its members.

Give the Library, source file, source member name, source member type, and the description.


4/15

Then to insert a new line type I as mentioned in the below picture and press enter.

Then it will give a new record

To enter values in the keep cursor in one line and press F4

To delete a line type D in the front of the line and press enter


5/15

It will delete a single line

To delete multiple lines type DD in the front of the lines you want to delete

It will delete relevant lines


6/15

Copy a line after another line

You have to put C for the line that is being copied and A represent after the line.

Same as we can use B for before a line.

Type 14 to compile a physical file.


7/15

If it compiled successfully it will give a successful message. If an object already exists it will give the

message accordingly.

To insert values use the query language facility

STRSQL

1st method of insert values to the table

You can insert values using the sql insert operations. the table name will be the corresponding physical

file name.


8/15

2nd method of insert values to the table

STRDFU

Select Run a DFU program


9/15

Give the database PF name and the library name

press F9 key to go to insert window

Type the values for the attributes


10/15

press F3 and go back then it will show number of records added to the table.


11/15


12/15

GO VERB


13/15


14/15

So type GOCMD+comand type

if you know the part of the command you can use * mark.Eg:- CRT* , DSP*

Library List

library list are used to give the access to user libraries. when the system, look for a AS/400 object it will

find it in libraries in the order of library list. Since it first search it in the system library and all thecommands resides in the system library , users can run the commands.

DSPLIBL

To see the library list. It will consist of 3 things.

1)The SYS libraries have operating system objects. This is where the AS/400 commands and

menus are contained.2) The CUR library is your current library. This is your first user library and is where objects are

created if you don't specify which library to use.

3) The USR libraries list your other user libraries.

EDT LIBL:- to edit the library list

we can only change the USR libraries using CHGLIBL

CHGLIBL :- to change the library list


15/15

PDM

PDM provides a way to enter program source statements and then to compile the statements into

executable programs. The source statements are needed only for the compiler. The compiled programs

are the objects that are actually run on the AS/400. The source code and the compiled objects areseparate things. But it is easy to confuse the two. At times, you may try to open the compiled object

with PDM when you really mean to open the source code used to create the compiled object.

The source code files can have any name but conventionally the names start with Q and end with SRC,

for source. Typically:

QCLSRC is the file for the CL program source statements

QDDSSRC is for the DDS program source statements

QRPGSRC is for the old RPG language

QRPGLESRC is for the new RPG/ILE language

QMNUSRC orQMENUSRC is formenus

QCBLSRC orQLBLSRC is forCOBOLQCMDSRC is forcommands
