RE: COUNTING LINES OF CODE

[fiona.fitzgerald@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Philip,
     I wouldn't  exclude  "comments, white space,blank lines, and all other
non-functional sections"

They do at least improve readability & the comments sometimes give you a
clue as to what the original coder thought they were doing - formulae etc.

Although a friend of mine was lucky enough to have the initials ME, which
really helped when she was required to initial any mods.

On the other hand; maybe they want to buy a compression tool for online
source code & don't know yet if it's worth their while ?

What about DDS & compressed *pgm objects?
I would count them as source code ?

I would have started off with a dspobjd to obtain a list of source files,
but realised that which an object may have a distinct PF-SRC attribute
in PDM, a dspobjd gives a type of *FILE & a truncated attribute of PF.
Very helpful, Rochester.

Fiona
