Re: [Svnci-developer] Subversion and RPG source change management

[Mark Murphy/S. B. C. Inc. <mm...@ST...>]

WDSC stores source in the IFS as a text file with the line number and 
change date as the first 12 characters of each line.  When sending changes 
up there must be a way for it to manage that.  Probably deletes all the 
records from the member and inserts the new records as they are stored in 
the file.  This is different from how CPYF works with source files.  I 
suspect that what we need to use is an RPG program, or find the one that 
already exists for WDSC, and use that to get the source to the iSeries 
without loosing line numbers and date stamps.

I know uploading source in the standard manner will not work.

Just a thought here...

I agree with Mark W. regarding date stamps on each line, and the
usefulness of the source last changed info in the object.

I see a couple of possibilities:
The Change Object Description (QLICOBJD) API can be used to change the
source file name, library and date/time on a compiled object.

Also, remember that a SRC-PF is still a PF.  If your SVN client
supports source PF, when the latest version of a source is pulled into
a developers working copy your SVN client could go ahead and call a
utilities that updates the source member date time with the
appropriate date.

HTH,
