Introduction to Code Control
Within Lawson Software it is required that you modify, compile and test the software you write (or modify) within the structure Lawson provides. This makes it nearly impossible to manage source code control in a "normal" fashion. Normally you would copy the source code to your home directory, modify it, test it and move it back when it works. This is not possible with Lawson.

So you have to have a way to modify the source within the Lawson structure and still maintain a backup of the code in the event that you need the original as well as only allowing authorized persons make changes.

Code Control was initially designed as a small part of a larger package that Kastle Consulting developed. Code Control does just that, it Controls the source Code. Code Control has been extracted from that full package, enhanced and made available here for anyone.

Some of the Features of Code Control Are

• SetParms script for setting secured permissions on Lawson files and directories
• Check-Out/Check-In and other scripts
• Lawson Forms and Reports (forms use the above mentioned scripts)
• Simple installation and use instructions
• Plain English explanation of all scripts
• It's Free!
