Re: Module references

[Ellen ter Hazeborg <hazeborg@xxxxxxxxx>]

We do not develop programs for other companies, we only develop them for
our company. If we want to make a change, eg. adding a field to a file,
we have to do this during the night because most of the users are at
home at that time. But we do not like working at night very much and
therefore we have written some tools to make such changes without being
online. These tools use several files which store information about
database relation, program relations and, very important, the relation
between source and object. This information we get by using DSPPGMREF
and DSPPGM etc. But we do not get any information about how a program
with a module has to be compiled ! For that reason we want to get the
bind directory to do the compilation.

I hope I could explain the reasons (English is not my mother tongue as
you already have guessed).

Cheers, Ellen
