Environment

CA 2E lets you create objects and generate application systems on an IBM i as if you were in an S/38 environment. Three model values control the environment in which applications are designed, created, and executed:

• YEDTEXC sets the environment within which CA 2E is used.

  This value is determined automatically by the machine, S/38 or IBM i.

• YCRTENV sets the default object creation environment.

  This value determines whether System/38 or native IBM i code is generated; that is, whether machine- specific references in the source should be in IBM i syntax or System/38 syntax. The source attribute, native IBM i or System/38, is set according to this model value.

  This value also controls whether the native or the System/38 environment compilers are invoked to create objects from the generated source.

• YEXCENV sets the environment within which CA 2E applications are to execute. This value determines the default for any machine-dependent syntax that is brought or built at execution time; for example, messages to use in QCAEXEC or QCMDEXEC.

You can change these values with the YCHGMDLVAL command. These values can be either QCL for S/38 or QCMD for IBM i.
