Replying to Run-Time Inquiry Messages
Running a Program Using a User-Created Command
You can create a command to run a program by using a command definition. A
command definition is an object (type *CMD) that contains the definition of a
command (including the command name, parameter descriptions, and validity-
checking information), and identifies the program that performs the function
requested by the command.
For example, you can create a command, PAY, that calls a program, PAYROLL,
where PAYROLL is the name of an RPG program that you want to run. You can
enter the command interactively, or in a batch job. See the
CL Programming
manual for further information about using command definitions.
Replying to Run-Time Inquiry Messages
When you run a program with ILE RPG procedures, run-time inquiry messages
may be generated. They occur when there is no error indicator or error subroutine
(*PSSR or INFSR) to handle the exception in a main procedure. The inquiry mes-
sages require a response before the program continues running.
Note: Inquiry messages are never issued for subprocedures.
You can add the inquiry messages to a system reply list to provide automatic
replies to the messages. The replies for these messages may be specified individ-
ually or generally. This method of replying to inquiry messages is especially suit-
able for batch programs, which would otherwise require an operator to issue
replies.
You can add the following ILE RPG inquiry messages to the system reply list:
RNQ0100 RNQ0222 RNQ0431 RNQ1031 RNQ1241
RNQ0101 RNQ0231 RNQ0432 RNQ1041 RNQ1251
