IBM AS/400 manual Command, Creating a Module Object, Using the CRTRPGMOD

Creating a Module Object

¹Reuse pieces of code. This generally results in smaller programs. Sm

grams give you better performance and easier debugging capabilitie

¹ Maintain shared code with little chance of introducing errors to oth the overall program.

¹Manage large programs more effectively. Modules allow you to divide program into parts that can be managed separately. If the program enhanced, you only need to recompile those modules which have been changed.

¹	Create mixed-language programs where		you	bind together	modules writte
	the	best language for the task required.

Using the CRTRPGMOD	Command
You	create a	module using the Create	RPG	Module	(CRTRPGMOD)	command.
You	can use the command interactively,		as	part of	a batch	input stre
Command Language		(CL) program.

If you are using the command interactively and need prompting, type CRTRPGMOD and press F4 (Prompt). If you need help, type CRTRPGMOD and press F1 (Help).

Table 6 lists the parameters of the CRTRPGMOD command and their system- supplied defaults. The syntax diagram of the command and a description parameters are found in Appendix C, “The Create Commands” on page 405.
