Re: Why not?

I've been doing a very simplified "pre-compiler" as an aid
in handling compiles. Seems like Buck and George would be
interested in it. I'm almost ready to post it somewhere so
others can help carry some of it, like handling certain
options and so on. It's a rewrite of something I wrote
before, but a little more "portable", if I can be so
presumptious. Dumbed down for V4R3 for most of you, as I had
to do it for that version.

It's a CL that receives as parms every one of the current
PDM replacement values through a command front-end, so it
can run from command lines also. It checks for "embedded
logic", if it's there it runs it, if not it runs a default
compile based on the member type.

The default needs to be changed to soft-coded. The embedded
logic is compiled, with a PGM PARM(...) and DCL.. statements
that comprise the variables necessary to accomodate all the
PDM variables.

It's enought to be worth using, but as time permits, the
embedded logic should be enhanced to provide certain obvious
options like deriving the member source type
from knowing the file and member name, and a quick exit if
it's not run from a WRKMBRPDM type list, adapting to a
possibility of running the embedded commands with QCMDEXC
instead of compiling the program, and so on. Also, it's not
error-checked, etc, etc. (It's pre-pre-beta, okay?)

Where can I put this, and some documentation (as time
permits)?
