What language are your mainframe source programs written in? How are
you compiling them in WDSC?

My experience with VSS is that I used to use VSS for Visual Basic and
JSPs, prior to using WDSC. When I moved to WDSC, I attemped to get VSS
to work with WDSC and got very frustrated.  In a moment of frustation
I set up a CVS repository on a spare PC, then used the CVS from within
WDSC. The whole process of getting everything working took about 1-2
hours, including reading the documentation. ( the CVS client is built
into Eclipse/WSDC, so no plugin was needed. )  After CVS was set up, I
only used VSS for Visual Basic projects. For all things Java/JSP
related I used CVS in WDSC. ( Plus Aldon CMS for the CL, C ILE and RPG
code)

Sarah,

Fair question. We are new to iSeries. For right now, the iSeries is
functioning as our database server. We hope to start migrating some
applications from VSE to iSeries and I am trying to get our working
environment set up in anticipation of that. WDSC is going to be a great tool
to use.

Since about 1999, we have been storing our mainframe source programs in VSS.
It is fantastic for version control. If there was a way to interface with
VSS from WDSC, it would be incredibly convenient. Our workflow starts with
checking out a source from VSS and then editing it, compiling, etc. If we
could do the check-out and check-in from WDSC, it would just be simpler.
It's a not a big deal if we can't because each of the development staff
already has the VSS client on their desktops.
