-------------------------------<snip>-----------------------------
When you're running real-time and any kind of outages or interruptions
cost a king's ransom per minute, you wait until business is ended Friday
before making updates. Saturday processing is basically the same as
weekday, but without the time/availability pressure, so there's time for
detailed post-mortem and backout. Our Quality Assurance staff tests
extensively, including intentional invalid data, before making ANY
update and all managers have to sign off on test results. At that time,
the old LMOD is copied to a backup library and the new one copied in.
Source and copybooks are treated in similar fashion.
We tried Changeman and it was an absolute nightmare building the JCL
sets for it to use. Even Serena had problems.
I am confused as to what a source control management system has to do with
LNKLST. Can you elaborate?

Some tools, like Changeman, will synchronize load modules with source,
so that the LMOD is created from the exact source that you provide. It's
important for you to be sure, and auditors like to see that match-up as
well.
