Before compiling your Profound UI program, you must ensure that the RPG compiler is set up to compile Profound UI programs. 

  1. If you have IBM i 6.1 or 7.1, you will need to install PTFs to enable Open Access support.   (For 7.2 and higher, this is not needed, as Open Access is built-in to the RPG compiler.)


  2. You must add the following keyword to the F spec declaration in your code: HANDLER(‘PROFOUNDUI(HANDLER)’).  This tells RPG to use Profound UI's Rich Display handler to run your displays.
