Implementer Promotion of a Menu written with Screen Design Aid (SDA) fails with errors

Modified: 16-Jun-2021   


Applies To

  • Implementer 10.1 to 12.4
  • "Menu" described in this article is an IBM i native menu
    • Compiled via CRTMNU command with parameter TYPE(*DSPF)
      • CRTMNU also supports TYPEs *PGM and *UIM, which are supported by Implementer, but not discussed in this article
    • Source consists of MNUDDS and MNUCMD member types
      • Both members reside in the same "Default source file" defined in object code
      • MNUCMD source member name is the same as the menu name with 'QQ' appended to name
    • Compiled objects consist of *MSGF, *MENU, and *FILE object types having the name of the menu

Description

  • Promotion of the DSPF and MENU objects fails to process to Target environments when created using the SDA utility on iSeries
  • Attempted to promote each item separately for the Message, Display File and Command source
  • Using the STRSDA command you can develop a DSPF type menu object and Implementer object code MNU does allow this
