RE: Source storage location - was RE: Using IFS with CRTSQLRPGI

Bob,

This is very useful for multi-platform languages. I have used the IFS
for C source for years.
It is much easier to move changes from the Windows side to the AS/400
side without having to rekey.

This begs the question - why would you store your source on the IFS? I
know it can be done, but I'm curious as to why? What are the benefits?

Unfortunately it will probably be a long time before we get to v6.1.

Does anyone know? Is there a way to do this or am I out of luck?

CRTSQLRPGI supports IFS source files starting in 6.1.

(CRTBNDRPG/CRTRPGMOD added IFS support in v5r2.)
