Running RPGINIT
To create and initialize the files LDAFILE and RPGUDATE, run RPGINIT with
the command
RUN RPGINIT.PUB.SYS [;PARM=n] [,QUIET]
where n can be a value of 1 through 32. The PARM value n represents a
multiple of 256, as shown in the the table below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| Value of PARM | Action |
| | |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| 1 | Creates the LDAFILE with 256 bytes. |
| | |
| 2 | Creates the LDAFILE with 512 bytes. |
| | |
| 3 | Creates the LDAFILE with 768 bytes. |
| | |
| . | . |
| | |
| . | . |
| | |
| 32 | Creates the LDAFILE with 8192 bytes. |
| | |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If a value for PARM is not specified or is less than 1, the value for
PARM defaults to 2 (a 512-byte LDAFILE). If the value for PARM is greater
than 32, the value defaults to 32 (an 8192-byte LDAFILE).
For example, to create and initialize an RPGUDATE file and a 512 byte
Local Data Area, use the following commands before accessing the LDA
file:
RUN RPGINIT.PUB.SYS;PARM=2
or
RUN RPGINIT.PUB.SYS
For a 256-byte Local Data Area, use the following command:
RUN RPGINIT.PUB.SYS; PARM=1
The QUIET option allows you to suppress the display of informational
messages when using RPGINIT to create and initialize LDAFILE and
RPGUDATE. This can be useful when running RPGINIT from a User Defined
Command (UDC) as shown in the example below.
In most applications you can include the RPGINIT command in a logon User
Defined Command, as shown in the following UDC file:

OPTION LOGON
RUN RPGINIT.PUB.SYS, QUIET
