Lost some source code, rebuilding it from a spoolfile.
Currently doing using copy/paste, screen by screen.
Anyone know of any tricks or tips to accomplish this quicker.
That would depend significantly, seemingly, on what feature produced
the spool file? If a compiler listing vs an effective print-member
feature seem germane, and then which compiler or which print feature,
and possibly even the language feature or release that was used for
whatever had produced the SPLF may be germane.
On a few occasions when I had lost source [that had not yet been
included in a backup] I usually would, if available, copy a spool file
[from a compile listing or prior effective 6=Print] into a source file
and then compose SQL to delete all header\footer rows [delete from
mysrcmbr where srcdta like :header-like or srcdta like :footer-like] and
then truncate all suffix-data and prefix-data from the SRCDTA of each
record [update mysrcmbr set srcdta=substr(srcdta, :pfx-end, :sfx_str)].
After that, I would start my editing [e.g. STRSEU] to perform anything
that the SQL requests could not effect for making the spooled data
appear or function as the source-type requires.
