New Open-Source File Encapsulation Utility
Hi all,
There was a recent discussion on RPG400-L (midrange.com) where a new open source file encapsulation utility was introduced (thread link). I will hopefully be able to put up a dedicated page in the future, but for now a blog entry will have to do.
The authors of this tool are Kurt Anderson and Kurt Braman. You can download the free/open-source tool at the link below (note I will be adding updates as Kurt sends them to me):
Version 1.10 (2008-09-11): http://mowyourlawn.com/files/file_encap_v5r3_release_1.10.zip
Version 1.00 (2008-09-10): http://mowyourlawn.com/files/file_encap_v5r3_release_1.00.zip
If you have questions please email “kurt dot j dot anderson at gmail dot com“. Or you can put a comment on this blog posting and I will relay to Kurt.
Given the recent announcements of open sourced AS400 solutions it feels like that concept is finally taking off in a bigger way. This is great as it will only produce good things for the community, but is it too little too late with things like EGL being pushed by IBM?

Hi,
I have a problem with this cmd when I try to generate the prototype I receive the next error:
“The record format QSRVSRC is not in the member PRBBND”
“It’s not allow E/S because the program or member PRBBND archive QRPGLESRC in the library CARSGA61 is not correct”
Se ha modificado la propiedad del objeto FEUCRTSRC en QTEMP del tipo
*USRSPC.
El formato de registro QSRVSRC no está en el miembro PRBBND.
No se permite E/S porque el dispositivo de programa o miembro PRBBND
archivo QRPGLESRC en la biblioteca CARSGA61 es erróneo.
I trying to use the next command:
FECRTSRC FILE(CARSGF61/DIGCTL) PRCMBR(PRB) PRCSRCFIL(CARSGA61/QRPGLESRC) B
NDMBR(PRBBND) BNDSRCFIL(QRPGLESRC) PROTOMBR(PRBH) PROSRCFIL(QRPGLESRC)
The last update I see this process is late 2008. Is there an update to this process? Do you still recommend it?
I am definitely interested in creating SQLPKGS / Service programs wrappers for several new files and was wondering about your process.
I did check your download and see it makes a SAVF file. I am assuming this is objects only. The company I work for (FEDEX) will not allow me to install an outside object. I would have to have the source and create my own objects. I do not know if this is available for your product.
