Setting up your CL programming environment and
How to start coding CL programs on the AS/400
A CL program is made up of a group of CL commands that instructs the
system where to get input, how to process it, and where to pace the
resut.
CL programs are compied into e!ecuta"e o"#ects that can "e run "y
simpy caing the e!ecuta"e o"#ect name.
Create the assignment i"rary if re$uired in your assignment. %a&e sure
it is named as specified in the assignment.
From now on the current i"rary or the assignment i"rary wi in this
document "e referred to as the 'L() *for re$uired i"rary+.
Use the dispay i"rary ist command and ,erify that the 'L() is in the
ist and aso the current i"rary. (f it is missing add it to your i"rary ist
and if not the current i"rary ma&e it so.
-se .'/0)123% to ,iew o"#ects in the 'L().
4erify that the physica fie 5CL6'C is present. (f missing create it with
the C'76'C28 command. 7his fie is re$uired to contain your CL2
programs source mem"ers. 5CL6'C is the standard naming con,ention
in the 96:400 word for CL2 source mem"ers. ;ou can in,ent:assign
your own name "ut for this course we wi go with 5CL6'C.
0ption 12 "eside the 5CL6'C fie on the .'/0)123% screen can "e
used to dri down to the indi,idua mem"ers *programs+ in this fie.
9nother way to gain access to your program source is to use the
command 67'23% and dri down to the mem"ers "y using the menu
options pro,ided or "y using the command 67'6<-..
.hen using the editor 6<- to enter source CL programs as mem"ers of
source physica fie 5CL6'C use 84 for the prompts and enter your
i"rary name , the fie name *5CL6'C+ and the source member is the
name of your source program that is "eing created. -se the naming

;ou must specify the source type CL2 *7he source type for a CL
program+. 7hen press =<>7<'?. <nter CL program source statements on
the 6<- <dit screen dispay. CL program source statements are
indi,idua CL commands that ma&e up a CL program.
<ntering 67'6<- and the =enter? &ey wi return you session to the
same status as your pre,ious 6<- session.
.hen using the dri down method with the 67'23% command you
must use the 8@ function &ey to create a new mem"er in the 5CL6'C
fie.
.hen you ha,e finished entering the CL source statements, press =83?
to e!it. 4erify that the parameter ,aue for change/create member is
A;<6A 2ress =<>7<'?.
9fter creating a source mem"er, you must create an e!ecuta"e o"#ect for
your CL program. -se option 14 "eside the mem"er in the B.or& with

-se option D to dispay the source
0ther functions a,aia"e to the user are A-6<' 027(0>6A entered in
