Mark, I have voted for your RFE.
Where I currently work they are thinking of writing an in house change
management package. Apparently they tried RTC on two separate occasions and
couldn't get it to work and they have let the license expire.
I have suggested looking at GIT instead of trying to reinvent the wheel.
Thank you,
jon

I started this on Midrange-l, but the discussion became about RDi rather
than the RFE, so I am posting here. The latest incarnation of free format
starting in column 1 makes me believe that tools like Git are now even more
accessible, if only RDi would support IFS development better. iProjects
don't work for me because they are tied explicitly to a single library, and
all source goes into source files which Git doesn't really know about. A
generic project is closer, allowing me to load source into text files and
use source control like Git as a repository. It even opens the files with
the LPEX editor. But it doesn't allow me to compile because I can't find the
compile menu or commands in the customization dialog. On the other hand
creating an rpgle file in the IFS under RSE allows me to edit and compile,
but I can't put it under version control because the context menu doesn't
contain the Team submenu.

Subject: New RFE for your perusal
I have entered a new RFE:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=83582
This RFE is about moving forward in development with a goal of being able to
do RPG development in conjunction with GIT. I know some people already do
this, but it seems a bit hard to do. I am looking for a more hierarchical
approach. An enhancement to the iProject perspective.
