Re: Source code on IFS

Having returned from COMMON - Thank You to all the speakers that
presented, we heard some talk about having your source code stored on
the IFS.

Does anyone have some insight as to the pros/cons/why of doing this?

A few cons come to mind ...

1. You won't be able to use SEU to edit source (yes, some people still use that) or PDM to manage the source.
2. Some of the change control products won't work with source in stream files.

Pros ...
1. Open source change control products are compatible ... attractive as this may seem, keep in mind that there is a lot more to change control on IBM i than just the source code.

This maybe the wrong list to post this, so feel free to move it to
the correct list.

Absolutely correct list.
