How to include programmer change history

[jonAgeas]

When making a change in RPG each of our programs has a section explaining the changes made/dates. Programmers also comment individual lines with their change reference.

Is there anywhere we can put this information in a Genie customised screen?

The screen widgets have a 'description' field that you could potentially use to keep track of changes. Not sure that it would be the best solution, though, since you'd have to click on each widget on the screen to see the description of each... not sure if that would work okay for you?

Here's another thought that I just had... you could put a "wrapping text" widget on each screen, and set it's visibility to "hidden" so the user wouldn't see it. The developers could put comments in there showing what they changed and why. Would that work?

That's all I can think of.

Thanks Scott.

Will give that a go and see how it looks.
