Ken,
Can you elaborate on how to see binding errors?  I have a PMR opened with IBM now regarding this.  I can never see the actual message - the joblog does not get created in my spooled file unless I compile from the green screen.

Josée,
Good Question! Try opening the view: "Command Log"...
For IBM i Developers, I point this out when creating service programs. We can find Binding errors.
Basically, the view "Command Log" is our RDI command log.
It is helpful!
I got this message in my "Command Log" when trying to create a display file and it was locked! 
CRTDSPF SRCFILE(KKILLIAN/QDDSSRC) SRCMBR(SWCODEDW) REPLACE(*YES) OPTION(*EVENTF)  FILE(KKILLIAN/SWCODEDW) Cannot allocate object SWCODEDW in KKILLIAN type *FILE.
Cause . . . . . :   Existing object SWCODEDW in library KKILLIAN type *FILE is in use by another job.  Object SWCODEDW in library KKILLIAN type *FILE is the object being replaced by the create function currently being performed. Recovery  . . . :   Try the create function again when object SWCODEDW in library KKILLIAN type *FILE becomes available.
File SWCODEDW not created in library KKILLIAN.
Cause . . . . . :   The file was not created because of errors. Recovery  . . . :   See the error messages previously listed.  Correct the errors, and then try the request again.
PS. I have that view open all the time. It really helps me learn how RDI works too! 
RDi Knowledge is POWER! <Joy Joy>

Good morning, I find that when I compile a display file, and the object is locked, RDI does not inform me of this.  Is there a way for it to tell me ?
Thank you for your help on this,
Josée
