Command Bindings Compiling code

With a bind, you can execute a compile command and then return errors for the compile. When you create a new configuration, there should be some predefined bindings for you.

• To add a binding, click "Add bind"
• To edit a binding, select the binding from the list and then click "Edit bind"
• To delete a binding, select the bind and then use the delete key.
• Double clicking on a binding will run the commands on the connected system and print the results on the Command Entry window.

Errors

CRTBNDRPG PGM(%openlib%/%openmbr%) SRCFILE(%openlib%/%openspf%) OPTION(*EVENTF) DBGVIEW(*SOURCE)
ERRORS %openlib% %openmbr%

A bind can execute any system command you would like. ERRORS is a command used by IBMiCmd to return the error listing for a certain object. For the errors to show up, you must have the Error Listing window open already.

ERRORS LIB OBJ
ERRORS MYLIBRARY MYPROGRAM
ERRORS %openlib% %openmbr%
ERRORS MYLIBRARY %file%

Variables

Binding also provides the ability to use 'variables'. Variables allow you make generic bindings, like a single binding to compile a program. These are the available bindings (always lowercase):

Generic bindings

• %curlib% - current library
• %user% - current user
• %host% - current system

Values that work when a source member tab is open

• %openlib% - source member's library - when compiling source members
• %openspf% - source member's source physical file - when compiling source members
• %openmbr% - source member's name - when compiling source members

Values that work when a IFS stream file tab is open (NppFTP)

• %file% - Open file's name - for IFS files
• %ext% - Open file's extension - for IFS files.
