Hi,
In the past, we have documented at the top of the program the date, ticket # and a description of a change. Now we are being told to put the ticket number in the first 5 positions, copy the line we are changing, commenting out the original line and editing the new. In CLP, /* */ to enclose the ticket number on the line being changed.
But I cannot get anyone to explain how long this remains in the code. I don't have a problem with commenting out and entering new lines, but when I go in to maintain the program next, I generally want to clean up (delete) the unused lines of code to make for better readability. When making large changes, I also make backup copies of the source member just in case I have to go backwards.
Can anyone point me to a best practices for documenting code changes ? This would have to cover RPG IV and Free and CL programs. We are working towards a SOC 2 Type 1 compliance.
TIA,
Cyndi B.
