Now I see what you're saying. You are modifying a module that's used in a
binding directory. To be honest, I haven't had to do this through Aldon.
However, you can specify *LIBL for the module's library in the binding
directory. It will be found when Aldon compiles the program object in order
of development, integration, quality, production.

You can still recompile the module and program objects in your library.
You'd need to test this, but I think once you compile the program, you
should see the library where Aldon and the binding directory found your
module. Do a DSPPGM on the program object, and screen 3 of 7 (Detail:
*MODULE) shows modules used. I suspect OS400 will replace the *LIBL with the
actual library of the module bound to the program.

This way, you are using known good code (modules in production) and testing
your code in dev.

OK, so what you are telling me is that I should never create the program in
my development library because using a Binding Directory will tell the
compilier logic that the "other" modules are in the production environment.

This to how Aldon works. Think about it like this: the program object in
your library already contains the module, so you don't need the module
object. 

You don't need to recompile all of the modules when recreating the *PGM
object. Remember, when Aldon recompiles, your production library is in the
recompile job's library list. Your development library is first, then QA
libraries, then any production libraries. Just change the modules you need
in your dev library, recompile them and the program. Unless you hardcoded
the module list when creating the program.... That's a no-no. Aldon's
designed to use the library list, so let it.

HTH,
Loyd

Subject: ALDON Question

Have an application at a client site that consists of a program that 7 bound
modules. When the application was constructed in ALDON all seven Modules
were identified, along with a Binding Directory, supporting Display Files
and the bound program. Everything seems to work just fine but when I went to
check out the objects to make a change, I was surprised to find that the
program object was brought to my library as was the binding directory and
the source for all modules.     

What wasn't brought across were the module objects. 

 

My question: is this a normal ALDON characteristic or is this a function of
local settings that could be changed. It is a real pain to have to compile
all of the modules when you really only have to make a change in one.
