Re: Why can't I push my source file changes?

Jim,

You have to configure a build style because in the architecture of iSeries 
Projects it is the build style that has the responsibility of providing 
the code and actions to push the code back to the server.  You could just 
define a no-op command in the build style like DSPLIBL *PRINT if you do 
not want to do anything.  Or you could also just use the Push options and 
not the Submit Compile option in which case it would not run the command 
anyway.

The idea behind the command was that you would plugin in a call to this CL 
build program you say you have and be able to run it as part of the 
process.  If you write your program properly, it can even automatically 
pull back the results after the build completes.
