I agree. While there may still be some regression testing required for
both - "you moron, you compiled out of the wrong library" kind of stuff,
it's a step. Especially if the customer is aware of this and doesn't
want
to wait for the vendors excuses as to why they are not on V6R1 yet.
There really should be regression testing after a recompile because of
this. Last year we had to recompile over 600 programs because of adding a
new field to a file. Everything compiled correctly, but the next morning
one of the programs began blowing up.
It turned out that the offending program had not be recompiled in several
versions. During that time the RPG compiler changed the way they handled
an error when chaining with a negative relative record number. This
uncovered an invalid operation our program, but because of the compiler
change, it hadn't been a problem in earlier versions of the compiler. You
can never tell when something is going to rear up and bite you!
