Using a Compiler Listing

This section discusses how to obtain a listing and how to use it to help you:

¹ Fix compilation errors

¹ Fix run-time errors

¹ Provide documentation for maintenance purposes.

See Appendix D, “Compiler Listings” on page 423 for more information on the dif-

ferent parts of the listing and for a complete sample listing.

Obtaining a Compiler Listing

To obtain a compiler listing specify OUTPUT(*PRINT) on either the CRTBNDRPG

command or the CRTRPGMOD command. (This is their default setting.) The spec-

ification OUTPUT(*NONE) will suppress a listing.

Specifying OUTPUT(*PRINT) results in a compiler listing which consists

minimally

of the following sections:

¹ Prologue (command option summary)

¹ Source Listing, which includes:

– In-Line diagnostic messages

– Match-field table (if using the RPG cycle with match fields)

¹ Additional diagnostic messages

¹ Field Positions in Output Buffer

¹ /COPY Member Table

¹ Compile Time Data which includes:

– Alternate Collating Sequence records and table or NLSS information and

table

– File translation records

– Array records

– Table records

¹ Message summary

¹ Final summary

¹ Code generation report (appears only if there are errors)

¹ Binding report (applies only to CRTBNDRPG; appears only if there are errors)

The following additional information is included in a compiler listing if the appro-

priate value is specified on the OPTION parameter of either create command:

*EXPDDS

Specifications of externally-described files (appear in source section of

listing)

*SHOWCPY

Source records of /COPY members (appear in source section of listing)
