Hi,
A user has compiled a source code ( cobol pgm ) twice in a changeman. Is it possible to know whether the user had made any changes to the program after the first compilation.
If we can get the version of the loadmodule produced during the two compilation then the lenght of the load module can prove whether the source code was changed.
Is there any way to know if there is any change in the program which was compiled twice in a changeman.
Thanks for the help. |

you are deluding yourself. unless you can decode assembler in your head,
the only thing that you can see is two different compile dates.
if changeman does not have source versioning, then that is another reason to buy a more sophisticated library management system, like endevor. |

Very possibly, BUT- Not necessarily. . . |

ChangeMan does provide you different versions for different compiles. Once you are at (posted only for illustration)
| Code: |
------------------------- STAGE: aaaa00xxxx COMPONENTS ----- Row 1 to 21 of 21
COMMAND ===> SCROLL ===> CSR
NAME TYPE STATUS CHANGED PROCNAME ID REQUEST
__ A234567 SRB ACTIVE 20100118 065538 CMNCOBOL E123456
__ A1234567 SRB ACTIVE 20101005 065102 CMNCOBOL E123456
__ CCBABCDE CPY ACTIVE 20100310 022002

go to the component of your interest and type-in "VC" in front of it. This will give you list of all the versions availble . Of course, keeping history of such versions is a choice made by the site-admins, however, usually site keeps some versions of programs and the how-many-of-them would vary shop to shop. |
