CL Syntax

The compile preprocessor can handle CL statements in either i OS or S/38 syntax. It examines the request string to determine the syntax and then If the request string contains qualified names specified in S/38 syntax, that is the form OBJ.LIB, or S/38 keywords, PUBAUT, the string will be deemed to be in S/38 syntax and the request string will be rerouted with routing data QCMD38 which will invoke the i OS Environment request processor QCL. For example:

CRTRPGPGM PGM(FRED.QGPL) SRCFILE(QRPGSRC.QGPL)

If the request string contains qualified names specified in i OS syntax, for example the form LIB/OBJ, or i OS keywords (that is, AUT, REPLACE), the string will be deemed to be in i OS syntax and the request string will be rerouted with routing data QCMDB which will invoke the QCMD request processor. For example:

CRTRPGPGM PGM(QGPL/FRED) SRCFILE(QGPL/QRPGSRC)
