Source Repository and location of source files

Source Repository and location of source files

We acknowledge that this decision will likely be a contentious one, as it seems to be a very emotive debate. Underpinning this decision, is the issue of the resulting object names, with specific reference to the QSYS.LIB file system and the IFS, and where the bulk of SMB developers find themselves. This consideration goes hand in hand with the consideration of who will likely adopt and use the solution.

As a result, being heavily influenced by the object names and the potential users, all published source code will be structured to leverage the QSYS.LIB file system, which most developers are intimately familiar with. It is only the young generation that will need guidance in understanding this structure. It is however so simple and logical, that it should take a short while for young developers to understand the significance and beautiful simplicity of source code in the QSYS.LIB file system, where the true power of IBM i are demonstrated.

Kindly study the section Source Files for a detailed list of published source files.
