RE: Copy source file member to pc

Maybe I'm old school. Certainly the PC has vastly superior tools for source
comparison, printing and the like, but I think the loss of source date is a
mistake. This is true especially but not exclusively for those
installations where there is no change management installed. For that
reason I have developed my own set of source exchange utilities that pull
source files to the IFS (and back again). It also optionally zips and
optionally puts into a flat structure instead of lib/file/member. But it
also maintains the sequence number / source date (also optionally), and as
an added benefit, the date of the IFS file will match the date of the last
change. I really designed it for exchange between my work and my home
systems, but it could have other uses. (My not-ready-for-prime-time
makeRGPfree utility deals with both formats (with/without change date.)

I hadn't thought about making SRCTOSTMF and STMFTOSRC shareable until now,
but if others are interested....

i am a little bit late on that topic but perhaps for the archives:

RPG Next Gen Editor has an Export Wizard which lets you export source
members to your local PC. It has the following options:

- flat export (no directory structure)
- export with directory structure (lib/sourcefile/member)
- make file names lowercase
- put all sources in a zip archive

You will get just the source. No last changed date. No line numbers.
You can select multiple members from one or more source files and
libraries.

All,

I'm having a brain freeze - I know that I used to copy source file
members
from the AS/400 to a pc but can't recall how I did it. I searched the
archives
and googled but can't seem to find the answer.

Would one of you kind folks please refresh my memory?

Thanks so much.


Warmest Regards,

Richard Reeve
