RE: RPGII to RPG IV

[Peter.Colpaert@xxxxxxxxxx]

Steve,

I would believe you.

I've seen an environment - luckily at a previous project - where there 
were upto 5 versions of most programs, upto 10 source versions, and the 
sources that were referenced in the program objects no longer existed, or 
were moved.

And of course the source timestamps didn't correspond with the timestamps 
in the program objects.

Thank <insert your favorite deity /person / ... here> I'm no longer 
responsible for maintaning that mess!

Hi Doug,

Yes I would love to try something like that, but a) Don't have time, 
b)some files have different layouts depending which program is using them. 
Then there is the problem of programs named exactly the same, in different 
libraries doing different things and sometimes using the same files and 
sometimes not. I couldn't believe what was happening the first time I 
discovered this, told of a problem with one program found the program, but 
it was not an interactive program as the user claimed then I discovered 
there were two more programs called exactly the same in different 
libraries both doing different things, there are about 80 to 100 
duplicates like this, I could go on but I am afraid no one would believe 
what is on this box! :-)

We are currently going thru an exercise that will hopefully eradicate the 
S36 from our box.

Steve
