Introduction to Access Paths › Changing Compiler Overrides

Changing Compiler Overrides

Within CA 2E, there are various properties of the i OS database files that you can modify by specifying compiler overrides. The overrides are the parameters on the compiler commands.

CA 2E allows you to prompt for and store these overrides that are then automatically applied by the compile pre-processor when you compile your programs.

Some of the overrides you can specify are:

• Physical files: i OS Create Physical File (CRTPF) command
• MAXMBRS, SIZE

Note: MAXMBRS is a parameter that specifies the maximum number of members the file can hold.

• Logical files: i OS Create Logical File (CRTLF) command
• MAXMBRS, DTAMBRS

Note: Some of the compile parameters (MAINT, TEXT) are specified by the access path details. Override values should not be specified for these values.

For more information:

• On how to prompt for and store overrides, see the Changing Compiler Overrides section in the "Generating and Compiling" chapter of this guide.
• On the i OS commands, see the IBM i CL Command Reference.
