Re: Source Control (was:Can an RPG module call another RPGmodule?)

Rob -
Okay - my turn to aks a question. If the source is NOT migrated to the 
production area, and secured from the development team, that means the source 
resides on the development area. If a request is made to enhance XYZ, what 
guarantee do you have/make that source XYZ has NOT been changed for what ever 
reason since the executable has been migrated to the Production region?

Don,

I understand the argument in your second paragraph.  What I can't accept,
blindly, is that keeping my source on my production machine makes it more
secure.  Granted, having it both on the production and development machine
is shaky at best.

I believe the operative word in the requirement is "application", as
opposed
to "operating system".  I also imagine the requirement only applies to
applications used directly to manipulate financial information, which
would
exempt PC type applications.

By the way, you can argue the merits of the procedures all you want, but
government agencies are notoriously close-minded about disagreements. Once
they have a procedure in place, it stays that way because the time it
takes
to approve changes is measured on a geologic scale.

Wow, how did you get IBM to give you the source for OS/400?  And
Microsoft,
too, for Windows?  Pretty Cool.
