Re: How to see if a RPG program was compiled with option(*SRCDBG) or option(*L

["Mike Naughton" <mnaughton@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Loek,

Just a thought, but you could certainly automate the DMPOBJ process. I
don't know of any "scan spool file" command (though I wouldn't be
surprised if someone has written a utility to do this), but I would guess
you could at least copy the spool files to data files (or members of a
data file) and then somehow scan the data files lookng for some pattern
that would indicate embedded code.

It would probably take a little effort to get it working right, but once
you did so you'd have your own utility that you could use over and over,
and from what you say it sounds as if it would pay for itself pretty
quickly.

IMHO, _anything_ to avoid scanning a lot of spool files by hand. . . . :-)

Or (on a completely different tack), how about setting up an automated
compile process that re-gens all your objects with no debug information?
Then just run your code through this process as the last step before
delivering it to the client. . . . (That way you'd also be sure that the
objects were compiled from the latest source code. . .)
