All changes made in Avante are tracked in projects. This automatically tracks any change made to a SB thing (screen, desct, etc.) as well as anything saved using the EDitor. Note that programs changed from outside of Unidata (SlickEdit or Unix's vi) are not tracked! Each project must have a unique name. Projects are stored in the global file called PRC.PROJECT.
A typical naming convension is JRI-94-INV-001, where
  • JRI are the developer's initials,
  • 98 is the software version of Avante,
  • INV is the module,
  • 001 is the seq counter for that user/version/module.
Note that this is what I personally use, but the format is not mandatory.
