Merged idea
This idea has been merged into another idea. To comment or vote on this idea, please visit IBMI-I-816 Allow IFS as source for compiler source files.

IFS compilation support Merged

Add parameters to CRTCLMOD and CRTBNDCL to support compiling modules and programs using source code stored in the IFS similar to the SRCSTMF and INCLUDE parameters supported in ILE RPG, C, and C++.


Use Case:

Today we are able to store RPG, C, and C++ source code in the IFS. We are unable to do this with CL. This is a roadblock to storing source code in the IFS and prevents using open source version control tools such as git.
