Many RPGers have learned about the joys of service programs, which
were designed to collect multiple modules together to simplify object
management. But we?ve found that many shops apparently create all of
their service programs with only one module. While there?s nothing
technically wrong with this approach, it seems a waste of a
?collection? object to have only one item in the collection.
Yeah, I've thought of doing that, but that approach *cries out* for a make
utility. Right now, I focus setting up my code so that hitting option 14
or 15 in PDM will actually create an object that is useful. That doesn't
seem to happen if I need to prompt the create service program command, and
then fiddle around with which modules to include in it. I just know I'll
screw it up somewhere along the line.
So for now, one or many functions go into one module, one module goes into
one service program. Each service program is added to one binding
directory. Binding directory is referenced by each main program. It's
simplistic, but it gets the job done. So far, most programs open only a
few service programs, but I am concerned about the potential performance hit.
I ported an open source make utility to the 400, and it works, but it's too
much of a kludge. I looked at one in - um TAATOOLS maybe? - It didn't cut
the mustard. I should get around and write one, but it just never seems to
get done as I limp along with PDM.
