IBM-supplied source files

 

For your convenience, the i5/OS^® licensed program and other licensed programs provide a database source file for each type of source.

This table shows these IBM-supplied source files.

You can either add your source members to these files or create your own source files. Normally, you want to create your own source files using the same names as the IBM-supplied files, but in different libraries. The IBM-supplied source files are created with the file names used for the corresponding create command (for example, the Create CL Program (CRTCLPGM) command uses the QCLSRC file name as the default). Additionally, the IBM-supplied programmer menu uses the same default names. (If you use the same file names as the IBM-supplied names, ensure that the library containing your source files precedes the library containing the IBM-supplied source files in the library list.)
