RE: RPG III - Object to Source DE-Compiler

["Rick Rayburn" <the400man@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Steve -

Running that monthly job is certainly not a bad idea but:

A: this occurred LONG before I hit the scene and

B: running, and following up, change management problem identification jobs
are usually instituted by organizations that have a complete IT
infra-structural department in place...rudimentally speaking, one or more
managers, P/A's, operation people...my experience has found that "shops" run
by consultants usually do NOT have daily change management routines in place
as there is no real staff there on a daily basis to handle, or to be
assigned, those types of tasks. Still, this kind of daily routine would
surely benefit anyone who might be concerned about maintaining source-object
integrity.

Thanx.
