RE: Suggestion: File to use when compile

It sound a bit scary if the compiler is change to possibly execute any command 
in a RPG source.  I would think twice when trying to compile a third party 
software or something that I downloaded from the web.

Maybe you should take it one step further and make it something that can
execute *ANY* CL command.

/PRECMD: OVRDBF FILE(CUSTMAS) TOFILE(FOO)
/PRECMD: SNDMSG MSG('SOMEONE RECOMPILED THE TAX CALC PGM!') TOUSR(SCOTT)

/POSTCMD: DLTOVR FILE(CUSTMAS)

Seems like it should be relatively simple for the RPG people to have the
compiler call QCMDEXC (or system() or QCAPCMD, whatever) before compiling
the program -- and this would give you a lot of flexibility.
