Version Number

CREATE PROGRAM creates the first version of a program definition. CA Ideal assigns a version number of 1 to a newly created program definition. This version of the definition is in TEST status. You can edit it as long as it remains in TEST status. After it is marked to PROD (production) status, you cannot edit it.

To mark a program to PROD status, enter the MARK STATUS command or select option 5 from the Program Maintenance Menu.

Note: The program must be successfully compiled before you can mark it to production status.
