Instead of entering or changing code directly in the Editor window, you can use prompts. When you request a prompt for a specification line, a window appears where you can enter or change that line using convenient entry fields.
Prompting for a C Specification
Follow these steps:
Select Edit > Locate > Line and
enter 24. Line 24 is selected (sequence number 002400).
You can press F4 to prompt for a
specification window.
Viewing Help for a Specification Field
Help is available for each of the specification fields. Let's see how you can get cursor-sensitive help.
Follow these steps:
Some words in the help appear in a different color (or in reverse image). These are help links, and they show that there is additional help available on that word or phrase.
When you use prompts to edit or add to your source, and then select OK, the changes are added to the program in the appropriate column, and the syntax is checked automatically (assuming Syntax checking is enabled.)
If you want to
insert lines into the file using prompts, select the Edit menu bar
choice, then select Insert prompt. The Editor displays new prompt windows
for you to insert ILE RPG specification lines until you select Cancel.
