¹ Start an SEU editing session

¹Enter 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)
