Re: Queries on Modules and Service programs

Luis,

this is good practice in my opinion and I will add a little ad-on

Today I have one common large binding directory that is common for all
programs
and has all pointers to service programs I use.

In the case of SP I have a CL program that creates the SP from module to SP.

I also use a /copy hspecs to set compiler options

Henrik,

In my own programs I like to do both: binding directories and /copy "*_h"
for the interface part. Also, I put all my compile options as H specs, so
there is no doubt as what binding directories are involved.

In the case of Service Programs, I also write the instructions needed for
compilation of the SP, as comments at the beginning of the source program.

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,

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.
