  I don't know what the direction is that IBM wants to go with IFS sources.
  But it is surely possible to compile fully from the IFS, look at the
  SRCSTMF parameter on the CRTRPGMOD command.
  I use IFS sources in a testcase now for a month or so. In the first time
  there where some difficulties with /copy members, but that were minor
  problems. It is up and running now.
  It surprises me that "new" tools like WDSC do not fully support this, at
  least not in iSeries projects.
  I understand that there are many problems to integrate this, because of
  the big difference between the QSYS.LIB filesystem and the IFS. But why is
  IBM making it only half possible, that way it becomes useless I think.
