Generic Compile

The Toolkit generic command, Create Objects (YCRTOBJ), recompiles some or all of the source members in a source file with a single instruction.

For example, the following command will submit compiles of all display file members in QDDSSRC in *LIBL whose names begin with the letters FR. Job description BODJ in *LIBL will be used. Any existing versions will first be deleted.

YCRTOBJ OBJLIB(FRED) SRCFILE(QDDSSRC) MBR(FR*)SEUTYPE(DSPF) JOBD(BODJ) CRTOPT(*ALL)

The names of the members that are to be compiled can be specified in one of two ways:

• Using a source file name and a generic member name
• Using a Toolkit member list name which can be created in a number of ways:
  • Using the Toolkit command Build Member List (YBLDMBRLST).
  • Using the Toolkit command Scan Source (YSCNSRC), or the command Scan and Replace Source (YSCNRPLSRC).
  • Using the Toolkit functions Convert Object List (YCVTOBJLST), or Convert Database File List (YCVTDBFLST).

You may edit or filter your member list with the Toolkit commands Edit Member List and Filter Member List (YEDTMBRLST, YFLTMBRLST).
