SCM is the only reason I can see for storing the source.

Subject: RE: Storing source as DDL instead of DDS

I was at the same meeting as Paul was yesterday and I think the question is really both. Who is using DDL to define tables (files) and moved away from DDS. And if you have done that, how, benefits, tools to assist. And if you have do you store the DDL source at all and if so where. Since it is possible to retrieve the DDL from the existing table object (file) using iNavigator tools do you need to keep the source at all? Do you even create source first and then "compile" the file from the source or just create the table using the iNav GUI and let it self document.

Paul, This is a good overview of concept http://www.ibmsystemsmag.com/ibmi/developer/modernization/dbmodernization_part3/
