Using SEU
Using the Source Entry Utility (SEU)
You can use the Source Entry Utility (SEU) to enter your source statements. SEU
also provides prompting for the different specification templates as well as syntax
checking. To start SEU, use the STRSEU (Start Source Entry Utility) command. For
other ways to start and use SEU, refer to the
ADTS for AS/400: Source Entry Utility
manual.
If you name your source file QRPGLESRC, SEU automatically sets the source type
to RPGLE when it starts the editing session for a new member. Otherwise, you
have to specify RPGLE when you create the member.
If you need prompting after you type STRSEU, press F4. The STRSEU display
appears, lists the parameters, and supplies the default values. If you supply param-
eter values before you request prompting, the display appears with those values
filled in.
In the following example you enter source statements for a program which will print
employee information from a master file. This example shows you how to:
Create a library
Create a source physical file
Start an SEU editing session
Enter source statements.
1. To create a library called MYLIB, type:
CRTLIB LIB(MYLIB)
The CRTLIB command creates a library called MYLIB.
2. To create a source physical file called QRPGLESRC type:
CRTSRCPF FILE(MYLIB/QRPGLESRC) RCDLEN(112)
TEXT('Source physical file for ILE RPG programs')
The CRTSRCPF command creates a source physical file QRPGLESRC in
library MYLIB.
3. To start an editing session and create source member EMPRPT type:
STRSEU SRCFILE(MYLIB/QRPGLESRC)
SRCMBR(EMPRPT)
TYPE(RPGLE) OPTION(2)
Entering OPTION(2) indicates that you want to start a session for a new
member. The STRSEU command creates a new member EMPRPT in file
QRPGLESRC in library MYLIB and starts an edit session.
The SEU Edit display appears as shown in Figure 27 on page 53. Note that
the screen is automatically shifted so that position 6 is (for specification type) at
the left edge.
