Gee, I agree with your SOX auditors?!?!?! I feel a little queasy.
I have been trying to get old code, test programs and trash out of the
production program files. I've been moving the source, but leaving and
object alone. Good thing I didn't remove the object. Turned out that
PROGRAMNAME wasn't the live program, PROGRAMNAME.JEFF was the live
program.
Standards may be a pain, not having standards is worse.

Subject: Re: [U2] Good Programming Practice Question.........
And your SOX auditors haven't had a cow over that practice? Ours about
died from apoplexy when they saw all the archive stuff in our production
file. The only thing allowed in the production file are the programs
currently in production. We were forced to create a non-compilable
archive file to hold these outdated versions of programs. But the
auditors still dictated that we maintain version history within the source
code as well.

Everyone of you that does not reside in the USA can thank your lucky stars
you don't have to deal with the absurdity of Sarbanes/Oxley. Which by the
way, does nothing to prevent the kinds of things that went on at Enron.
Nice job congress!
