As the missing source code problem is popping up now and then, I'm
thinking that maybe it would be a good idea to include the source code
(compressed) in the load module, like you could do when compiling REXX
programs. This would guarantee that you always have a source code
matching
the running programs.
Many years ago (and far away) before Panvalet was purchased by CA,
there was
a product that I was at a shop that used called "PANEXEC" (as I
recall).
This product worked with their Panvalet product to create
"generations" of
object code (in a "condensed" library format) that was
"auto-magically"
synchronized with the source code level.
Bill,
Wow a blast from the past. We looked at it and almost purchased it but
the hang up was we had a consulting firm in at the time and they had
their own library system and refused to have anything to do with
Panvalet. We crossed them off the list and tried to see if we could fit
it in with the rest of the 2 or so programming areas. I liked the
product a little (but was not in love with it), I think (I honestly
don't remember) the major hang up was that it had hooks into the OS.
Thanks for bringing it up.
Ed
I was wondering if any shops use any software that does this today? (I
certainly haven't heard of that product for well over a decade). It
always
struck me as a good idea, but I do understand that there are other
"change
management" products and policies aimed at solving the "same problem".
I would be curious as well, *IF* my memory is correct then I am not
sure how they could maintain the "retrofits" to the OS.
I am pretty sure it (PANEXEC) died a death long ago and far far away in
Oak Brook.
