Hi Joep,
Careful, I'm not saying we should all use python and anything else. I'm not
talking about the language, I'm talking the format of files containing our
non-jal information (which becomes highly precious...). There shouldn't be
high impacts on our internal tools, provided there's a lib available for the
language, and provided this format is simple enough.
Ex: for python, with yaml:
import yaml
mystruct = yaml.load(file("pic_ds.yaml"))
Done. Now in mystruct I have all the PIC <=> DS relationship. YAML is
simple, so is JSON. They're available for python, and perl for sure ! Don't
know for Rexx though... I've used both, and think they should fit the need.
But I'm open to suggestions !
Cheers,
Seb
