Re: Egads! An area in which the precompiler people surpassed thecompiler people!

This has been my standard M/O for many many years. Nothing
better, independence for overrides and all.

This has saved me all kinds of grief.

| Henrik Krebs published a precompiler some years ago.  The
concept is that
| you create a routing entry in a batch subsystem which
registers its own
| command processing program.  Then you receive the request
messages.  If the
| message is CRTBNDRPG, you parse the parms, open the source
member and read
| from it.  You capture specially formatted comments which
you then can use to
| create a completely different job stream.  One can readily
have pre-compile
| commands, compiler parameters and post-compile commands so
you could
| conceivably do:
|
| ovrdbf template templatelib/templ_file
| crtbndrpg aaaaaa dbgview(*list)
| grtobjaut aaaaa
| crtdupobj
|
| by reading comments like this:
| H*RQSB1:      ovrdbf template templatelib/templ_file
| H*PARM1:      dbgview(*list)
| H*RQSA1:      grtobjaut aaaa
| H*RQSA2:      crtdupobj

I'm sure he'll
| send you a copy if you contact him.
