Re: SQR default "-i" modification question

[Albert Howard <starbuckk@MAILROOM.COM>]

I strongly encourage keeping customer developed code separated from
delivered modules in a user path.  This not only facilitates easy
identification of newly developed modules, but it also allows for modified
delivered modules without having to rename them, or remember to store them
in an off system path.  Example is the stdhdg01.sqc, which is always
modified to reflect the company header.  Change it, save it to the user\sqr
directory and the original remains intact.  And with the search paths set
up correctly, it will find the correct one always.

The configuration manager is the correct place to change it for Process
Scheduler initiated jobs.  For jobs initiated from the SQRW icon (i.e.
development), you need to place it in the command line, or in an ini file
if you have newer versions of SQR that support the -ZIF parameter.

All modules have to be in the same place in the UNIX library for those
using UNIX servers, but the client side SQRs should be kept separated.

NOTE:  Apologies to the non-PeopleSoft folks here..though this is
about  SQR, it really only applies to PeopleSoft SQR users.
