Chapter 5. Entering	Source	Statements
This	chapter	provides the information you need to enter RPG source
also	briefly	describes the tools necessary to complete this step.

To enter RPG source statements into the system, use one of the foll methods:

¹ Interactively using SEU

¹Interactively using CODE/400

Initially, you may want to enter your source statements

into

a

file

QRPGLESRC. New members of the file QRPGLESRC

automatically

receive a

default type of RPGLE. Furthermore,

the

default

source

file

for

the

mands

that create modules and bind

them

into

program

objects

is

QRPGL

IBM

supplies a source file QRPGLESRC

in

library

QGPL.

It

has

a

recor

112

characters.

Note: You

can

use

mixed case when entering source. However, the ILE

RPGcompiler will convert most of

the

source

to

uppercase

when

it

it.

It

will

not convert literals,

array

or

table

data.

Since the system default for a source physical file is 92 characte explicitly specify a minimum record length of 112. If you specify 92 characters, the program may not compile since you may be truncat code.
