Re: ILE make tools

I use my MAKE tool for every compile I do when I am developing. I have the
instructions on how to create the object in the source for everything,
Print File, Display File, SQL and DDS files,

I do 100% ILE development when I am doing development with multiple
modules, service programs, etc and without a make tool is is just about
impossible.

If I need a virtual file when compiling I can put the instructions in the
header to do an OVRDBF or CRT* into QTEMP during compile. Never have to
wonder how to create the object.

Didn't know their were so many people using COMPILE.

I tried that. Didn't find it all that useful compared to a CLP for my
environment. Like Ken, my service programs have one source member. So
creating one boils down to
CRTRPGMOD
CRTSRVPGM

I put this in a CLP which is front-ended by a CMD. That CMD goes in a
PDM option for my PDM colleagues to take (CS instead of 14) or RDi for
me. In either case, the familiar workflow is maintained.

That doesn't mean it's not useful. What scenario do you use Make in?
