Hi Guys,

I've been looking into the various CMS options available for OS/400 source. As far as I can tell NONE of the available products manage stream file source natively. That is, they all rely on an external source code control system that runs on something other than OS/400. The most common alternative is CVS running in Linux or Windows. So all that these products do is add a management process around CVS which is definitely a case of lipstick on a pig.

CVS is just awful for managing multiple versions and fix levels. Its fundamental concept of multiple developers changing the same source at the same time is seriously flawed.

Am I correct that no OS/400 CMS manages stream files natively?

Is it unreasonable of me to expect an OS/400 solution to this problem? Why would I trust my source to Linux

What are others doing to manage stream file source (especially since HLL code can also be stored in stream files)?

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
