We use it for change control. We use it for Cobol, assembler, DYLs, JCL CICS maps etc. Opentext got it when they acquired MicroFocus who got it when they acquired Serena. IDK if Serena acquired it from somebody else or if they developed it. It does what we need it to do. I'm not that

Quite possibly a stupid/useless suggestion, but: what about SIDEFILE entries? It's been 15 years since I remember looking at those. We had a ton of long entry point names in ported code, and used SIDEFILE for a while. We later got around needing SIDEFILE in a super-hackish way: we create a
