Re: Queries on Modules and Service programs

A simple way to do homebrewed change management is to always have a
/copy module that defines the interface to callable programs and service
programs.

Given a name simalar to the program such as MYSRVPGM copy module
MYSRVPGMCC makes it really easy to search and recompile when changes
are made.

Another method in service programs is to have binding directories so no
or seldom recompilation is needed when new functionallity to the service-
program is added.

Although I agree that having a good SCM package would be better, there

are

a couple of utilities in the www.easy400.net that could be of help. As

per

the website documentation:

PgmRegen<http://www.easy400.net/pgmregen> (library PGMREGEN - last
release Aug 06, 2010), an utility able to retrieve the composition of ILE
programs and to automatically regenerate both OPM and ILE programs in all
HLL languages.
PLCheckUp<http://www.easy400.net/plcheckup/html/page1.htm> (library
PLCHECKUP - last release Aug 06, 2010), an utility that investigates all
the ILE programming pieces of an application library, finds out the
relations among pieces and provides several inquiry screens that will

help

in your application maintenance duties. A life-saver for ILE programmers.
