Re: Source code on IFS

Hi Steve,

I have been playing with ifs source in the past, but the omission of
SRCSTMF parameters for binder source on the CRTSVRPGM was the biggest
showstopper for me.
That may have been changed now with 7.3, although I still cannot find much
info on it.

In our small shop for our sources we use RDI's iProjects. The iProjects are
under version control with Subversion. This works well, but involves a lot
of pushing and pulling overhead between the iProject and the i.
So I can see much, much benefit of moving the sources to the ifs if we can
fully compile from there.

For some people the lose of source change dates and lines might be an
issue. We have banned this source area already for years, since it is only
extra garbage in modern compare tools. All information about sources
changes can easily been found by comparing between revisions which can be
done with a few mouseclicks.

When compiling from the ifs, the source information seems not to be stored
with the object. When I do a DSPMOD for an ifs compiled object, I don't see
source info.

This is an important missing piece of information I believe. I think i'll
put an RFE for updating that area also for ifs compiles.

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?

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

Thanks
