    Hi.

    You find a link to the documentation for Code for IBM i in the HELP AND SUPPORT view:

    Here you also find links to the forum for Code for IBM i, where you can look for similar issues or discussions or ask for help (report an issue).

    When you compile in Code for IBM i, you run what's called an Action, which is simply one or more commands send to the IBM i with information of your source, e.g. a CRTBNDRPG command. You find the actions defined in the ENVIRONMENT view:

    Here you can right-click to view or edit an action and see what value it uses for the object library. I recommend to have all action start with a '?', this will make Code for IBM i prompt the command before run and you see the full command to be executed.

    HTH.
