• You only need to create a Category once, conceptually its like CRTSRCPF.
• Create as many Categories as you wish.

• -Right-click in the Snippets view and select Customize
• -Click the New button and create a new category
• -Click the New button and create a new snippet
• -Click on the snippet and then click the New button that is adjacent to the Variables list
• -Enter your snippet and use the Insert Variable Placeholder button to add the variable

Use snippets for RPGLE, CLLE, DSPF and PRTF source members.

Snippets RPG

original post [3]

I noticed that you can use the snippets to insert stuff into your program, even though you cannot select parts of your source and add it to the snippets.

To create your own RPG snippets,

• you can open the view in RSE or iSeries Editing perspective,
• select your source,
• and right click / Past in the snippets view.

It will then create a new template.

As a side question to the IBM'ers: how can I enable the snippets (or any other) view in WDSC Lite?  
In the full-blown version it's under Basic, but in Lite it's not there to select.

Another method is.

1.  Open the Snippets view.
2.  Create a new 'Drawer' for your snippets.
3.  Copy some source.
4.  Right-click in your snippet drawer, paste.
5.  This will bring up the snippet creation wizard.
