RE: ILEDocs

["Holden Tommy" <Tommy.Holden@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok in a nutshell...sometime ago it was mentioned that RPG, etc should
have a function similar to Javadocs.  From this we started an initiative
to build our own tool for extracting comments, etc from source members
on the iSeries.  The save file includes all the source code and objects
(works for v5r1 and up).  The parser will extract the data from the
source member and will create XML and HTML files on the IFS or load the
data extracted into a PF.  The HTML files use XML data binding for the
data representation.  There currently is no display method for the PF.
An example of the process:
This source file http://code.midrange.com/index.php?id=cc20d9a15a will
be parsed via ILEPARSE

The defined tags in the source to be extracted start with the @ symbol.
The resulting HTML/XML will look like this
http://tommyholden.com/downloads/iledocs/ILEDOCS-QRPGLESRC-KR0058CMP-SQL
RPGLE.html 

This does support extracting copybook tags (even nested copybooks)
you'll see them in the example output.  The entire program and /copy are
generated at the same time.  There is also a BLDINDEX command that will
build an index.html in the IFS file for all the source member pages in
the directory.


Thanks,
Tommy Holden

What is the ILEDocs initiative about?  If I download the ZIP file, what 
will be in it?   You say you're looking for volunteers -- volunteers to 
do what?
