Re: Source Change Tracking/Dependencies

True, there was a separate line item in the config for it, although in the
total scheme of things it was very inexpensive. It was also included in
the defaults in econfig so it was on most every configuration I did.

I thought that ADM was an additional licensed program Vern. I don't think
it was included as part of the base PDM tooling.

Application Development Manager, which I think you call "extended" PDM,

was the only change-management facility on these systems, so far as I know.
There is a V5R1 manual at
http://publibfp.dhe.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/c0921332.pdf

This does know about dependencies, as this quote suggests -

Each time you use the BLDPART command, the information about dependent

parts used in the compilation of a part is stored with that compiled part
as a dependency relationship.

It's part of ADTS, which included SDA and PDM and other tools. Might be

worth looking into, eh?

Hello,

my projects slowly become more complex and I start to face "dependency

hell". This includes PFs in a library being referenced by *PGM and DSPF
objects in other libraries. When I change a field

I'm wondering which easy ways of source tracking are available directly

in (older) versions of OS/400 (here: V4R5), *without* using MS Windows
based, or other "external" development tools. I want to solely rely on OS
provided facilities.

Note: I'm exclusively using DDS for creating PFs/LFs, no SQL. I don't

see benefits in doing so on V4R5.

I have noticed the "extended" PDM project management, but so far I

failed to find the nerves to look into what seems a highly complex
mechanism. I'm also not sure if I can "import" already existing "projects"
(aka: libraries with one SOURCES for all source members) into it. Also,
this facility is no longer available in 7.2, as I've seen. (Some of my
projects I'm using on and developing on a 8203-E4A.)

I have read about TMAKE from QUSRTOOLS but so far no first-hand

experience with it. I'm rather fluent with UNIX make and Makefiles, though.

Other thoughts from the group?

Thanks!
