Getting Started

Data supports the execution of RPGLE code outside AS400 using its internal RPGLE interpreter Jariko.

RPGLE development does not involve the creation of a micro executor because they are interpreted by standard component . RPGLE sources are are located into JASRC folder and their related /COPY into QILEGEN of a source library.

To properly use RPGLE code in Data to handle the fun execution you can import specific RPGLE /COPY like:

• QILEGEN/£UIBDS: Contains the fun interface as *ENTRY
• QILEGEN/£JAX_D: Contains the declaration of routine to emit Data Structures
• QILEGEN/£JAX_C: Contains the routines to emit Data Structures

Hello World example

JASRC/HELLO_WORLD.rpgle

      *--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
     D/COPY QILEGEN,£JAX_D
      *--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
      * M A I N
      *--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
     C                   EXSR      £JAX_IMP0 
     C                   EVAL      £JAXD1='Hello World'
     C                   EXSR      £JAX_ADDO
     C                   EXSR      £JAX_FIN0   
      * 
     C                   SETON                                        LR 
      *--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
     C/COPY QILEGEN,£JAX_C
      *--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*

You can try it using your Sandbox environment (See docs here). Copy/Paste the code snippet in JASRC/HELLO_WORLD.rpgle in development environment.

To see the result you can execute the fun F(TRE;HELLO_WORLD;) pasting it in the frontend search bar and press ENTER.
