If you specify SRCSTMF with OPTION(*PPONLY), then the preprocessor writes a stream file to the current directory with the new extension .i. For example, if you specify SRCSTMF('/home/MOE/mainprogram.c') with OPTION(*PPONLY), then the preprocessor writes output to the current directory as a stream file called mainprogram.i. For this to happen, you need *RW authority to the current directory.
