Re: Using prototypes...

[Rory Hewitt <rory.hewitt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,

So you have a single job description which is used by all compilation jobs?

Frankly, I'd change it so that you have a separate job description in the
modified_source library, which is a copy of the COMPILES *JOBD, but which
includes the modified_source library at the top:

modified_source
modified_files
modified_objects
base_source
base_files
base_objects

That way, all modified copybooks will be in the modified_source library and
will be found 'before' the same-named (unmodified) copybook in the
base_source library.
