Re: Aldon LMi - how to support and promote AFP source

Define a new LMi object type which uses CPYF to promote the AFPSRC file members.

What version of LMi are you running? At version 07.5G objects have an
attribute called "data option" where one option is "promote data". You
might be able to use data option to come up with at least a
better-than-nothing arrangement that allows checkout and promote of AFPSRC
with data intact.

We use STRAFPU to create lines and boxes on an INVoice page; AFP source is
named OVL_INV. This builds a new member in a physical file AFPSRC with a
member named OVL_INV.

After creating the source with the editor, a *OVL object is created named
OVL_INV_OBJ.


Aldon supports promotion of the *OVL object just fine (OVL_INV_OBJ) .

But they don't seem to have a method to promote the source (OVL_INV).

Aldon claims it is NOT source because the PF type is not *SRC (like it
would be for CL or RPG). Of course it is source, but that is just
semantics.

Instead the FILETYPE is *DATA.



Aldon suggested using their *RCDS (Records object). I think this is meant
for sub-setting a group of data records by key; for example customers
100000 thru 300000.

However, the first requirement for using *RCDS according to Aldon doc is
that the file must be keyed - which seems to eliminate its use for AFP
source (which is arrival sequence).




Other people MUST be using AFP source and also using Aldon LMi. AFP is
the most popular graphics engine, and Aldon is a popular life cycle tool.

Has anyone found a method of promoting AFP source thru Aldon?

Thanks!
