Re: GENLVL for CL

["Simon Coulter" <shc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Rob,

I realise that you have a work-around for this problem but please clarify
this for me.  Are you attempting to create a CL program containing the
CFGDOMSVR command?  Do you get the error message when compiling or editing?

Since the CPP for CFGDOMSVR doesn't run until the program runs I suspect a
Validity Checking Program is sending the message.  If that is true then I
would APAR it as broken.  It is wrong to check for the existence of any
object in a VCP because the VCP runs during SEU edit sessions.  It is wrong
for the simple reason that the object may be created when the CL program
runs and before the command in question is reached.

Imagine how annoying it would be if all CL commands checked for the existing
of objects during editing.  Especially the common situation of:

        CRTDTAARA QTEMP/STUFF TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(50)
        CHGDTAARA QTEMP/STUFF ....

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
