Actually I was aware that you can store and compile RPG source in the IFS, but iProjects do not currently play well with the IFS, and really, I have issues with the way they link into the Library/Object system as well. It is too inflexible. I am looking for a heierarchical project type that has knowledge of i objects. An enhancement to iProjects. I was unaware that the CL compilers did not support the IFS, but I am not really surprised, and I would not expect the CRTCMD to work either. CRTSRVPGM does not operate on source objects, but rather modules, so like CRTPGM, that would be something that the Make tool would have to deal with. A build script would have to specify how to assemble service programs, and programs created with CRTPGM, though I tend to avoid those. I use service programs to hold module code, and CRTBND* to build programs.

Subject: Re: New RFE for your perusal
Note that you can already store RPG source in the IFS and commands like
CRTBNDRPG support STMF paths. I wasn't sure if you knew that based on the
comments in the RFE. For example:
CRTBNDRPG PGM(MYLIB/PGM1) SRCSTMF('/path/to/rpg/pgm1.rpgle')
With that said, there are a few remaining that don't support SRCSTMF
(CRTBNDCL and CRTSRVPGM if memory serves).
Mihael Schmidt (RPGNextGen.com) uses the 'make' command to accomplish
this. Download his JSON tool to see more.

Awhile back KrengelTech started switching our RPG source management to
Git. We don't have our methods polished enough to share. The kicker issue
is tools like RDi don't play well with source stored in the IFS (i.e.
compile error listings), so that necessitated temporarily loading
Git-managed IFS files back into *SRCPF and then back to IFS once ready for
Git commits.

This RFE is about moving forward in development with a goal of being able
to do RPG development in conjunction with GIT. I know some people already
do this, but it seems a bit hard to do. I am looking for a more
hierarchical approach. An enhancement to the iProject perspective.
