>Then again, we now have a supported “git” on z/OS, so who am I to complain? GIT is good for some languages but not others. For HLASM, it's only slightly better than line numbers when merging changes from 4 developers. For example, a C developer will modify a function call but not the entire line nor major sequence changes. In HLASM, we may rethink the sequence and contents of a group of lines. How does it determine if R7 or R8 is the correct value? GIT is designed for Unix packaging at release. It's incompatible for creating separate PTFs for each developer's changes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
