Daniel, There really is nothing wrong with this approach, as long as you use it as an Update PBL. This is a much easier way to distribute new changes/enhancements to your applications. We always had a cutoff with how many object in the UPDATE PBL constituted a new "full" release. Justin E. King Systems Analyst Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland Daniel Coppersmith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 10/26/99 03:27:59 PM Please respond to Daniel Coppersmith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: PFCSIG <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: (bcc: Justin E King/D31/CLEV/FRB/US) Subject: PFCSIG Someone shoot this idea down I have 18 PBDs (including PFC). When I make changes (fixes, new features), I end up needing to distribute up to 10 of my PBDs in order to make fixes cumulative. What I was thinking of doing for the next major release was to have a library called V3UPDATE.PBL that is in the top of the library list. Then, when I need to do interum updates, I will have the new objects copied into V3UPDATE.PBL as well as their regular pbls. That way, I only need to distribute the one PBD for updates. Does this seem like it would work? Will I have a problem with two same named objects out there? The users would have the new object at the top of the list so it <should> ignore the old object in the pbl lower in the list. Let me know if you can find fault with this idea... Thanks, Daniel
