Re: Help with my first SRVPGM

The big problem is when this happens : a new module is written and is
used by one of those modules that is in many BNDDIRs. We have to put
the new module into all those BNDDIRs. Then recompile all those
programs. As the same modules become used by more and more programs,
there is a kind of snowball effect. The addition of a new module
means more and more recompiles.

This can be addressed by using a good change control system (such as MKS Implementer <grin/>).

A good SCM system will maintain (or use an external) cross reference table that indicates which programs use which modules, so it will know which programs need to be recompiled. When you move the program from the development location to the QA location, all the necessary programs will be automatically recompiled along with the module.

p.s. Obviously, if you would like some information on Implementer, feel free to contact me privately.
