Before you begin, you must complete Exercise 3.5: Invoking language-sensitive help.
Instead of entering or changing code directly in the Editor window, you can use prompts. When you request a prompt for a specification line, a window appears where you can enter or change that line using entry fields.
Accessing language prompts
To access prompts:
You see the iSeries Source Prompter at the bottom of the workbench.
The iSeries Source Prompter shows the specification line broken down into its
individual fields.
On the iSeries Source Prompter toolbar you can use the three push buttons
to: Disable source prompt view, Disable syntax checking, and Change to
insert mode.
Displaying context sensitive help
To display context sensitive help for any field in the iSeries Source Prompter:
The Help window with help for the D spec keywords opens. If it
doesn't appear automatically, you might have to bring it to the
foreground by clicking on its icon on the Windows taskbar.
You will see words in the help that appear in a different color than the regular text. These are help links, and they show that there is additional help available on that word or phrase.
You have used prompts to enter code and now are ready to begin Exercise 3.7: Indenting source.
