I'm experimenting with putting source in the IFS. Would like sone input.

1) Do you miss the text on the source and the created object?

2) What's the best way to handle /COPY of utilities shared between projects.

I don't want want to hard code the /COPY file, or use an RPGINCDIR environment variable, or specify an INCDIR on the CRTxxx command.

Using path name relative to the source file directory seemed best.
For testing I created a directory structure like this:
/HOME
MyName
MySourcE
Copy_Mbrs
incText.rpgle
Proj1
TestInc.rpgle

TestInc looks like this:
**free
/include ../Copy_Mbrs/incText.rpgle
dsply theMsg;
*inlr = *on;
return;

incText looks like this:
**free
dcl-s theMsg char(30) inz('Hello included text');

Which compiles quite nicely. But is this the best way?

This is for my personal projects on PUB400, so no source management packages.

Any suggestions, comments, discussions welcomed.
