RE: Embedded printer file compilation options

Bill, I don't know if you got the answer you were looking for, but I'd be happy to share the utility I mentioned yesterday.

Hi Bill,

I know that PTC/MKS Implementer change management saves the compile string for each compilable object. Probably every change management software does that.

I also seem to recall that RLU (remember that beast?) saves the compile string as well.

I wrote a utility years ago that I haven't used in forever that looked for strings in the source for precompile commands, compile command parameters, and postcompile commands:
**#$%PRE: OVRDBF CUSTMAST TOFILE(SOMELIB/CUSTMAST)
**#$%COM: SIZE(*NOMAX) MAXMBRS(10)
**#$%PST: SNDMAIL TO(DAN) BODY(&&RESULT)

Does RDi's designer save this info for display and printer files?

Hello,

This question may have been asked a thousand times here on the list. Is there a native way to embed printer file compile options within the printer file source so that one doesn't always have to look at the current printer file object to see how it was compiled and then match that? It would be SO much simpler. Thanks for any info!
