Code/400 Tips

Using Code on campus

To create a new object on the iSeries 400 using CODE/400 (Note: this may not be necessary when working with Thumper.)

1. To create a new source member using CODE on the iSeries on campus. 

2. First create your source member in the CODE editor or designer.

3. Next log onto the iSeries 400 and create a source member with the same name as your new object with the correct data type.  It does not need to contain any information.

4. Now you can save the source member you created in CODE/400 up to the iSeries.  It will ask you if you want to override the existing file.  Answer yes to replace the dummy object with the real object.
