Re: Create a *LF over a specific *PF member

Perhaps there is some way to vandalize the source member so that it would 
only compile from your MAKE program?  Just today I worked with an IBMer 
who tried to compile QDSIGNON on an IBM system and it wouldn't until we 
changed the member type (it defaults to *NONE or blank).  Granted, your 
comments will have to include "Run the MAKE program fella".

So somewhere in IBM a signon screen has been changed by someone who didn't 
know that you had to use 14 to compile.  Simply using 2 to edit and saving 
it wasn't sufficient.
However, they were remote and were clever enough to figure out how to use 
iSeries Navigator all on their own to bounce QINTER to take the change. 
Boy, you give a newbie a good graphical tool and they can zip through 
stuff...

Sadly, I know how this works.  You specify the member on the DTAMBRS 
keyword
of the CRTLF command.  My very serious recommendation is to create a CL
program to create/re-create the LF as well as put the create command in
comments at the top of the DDS source so you won't forget to use the 
special
create program.

There will come a time when you want to re-create this LF, and someone 
WILL
simply take PDM option 14 and then your application won't quite be the 
same.
You'll spend a good long time trying to figure out what happened, and THEN
remember the funky LF.  Not what I'd call a Good Day.
