Running DIFROM to Export Data (6 of 17)

Entering Current Version Information

DIFROM next prompts for information that is required by the VA Programming Standards and Conventions (SAC) to appear on the second line of all routines. The developer must enter the package name (if it cannot be picked up from the PACKAGE (#9.4) file), the version number, and the date distributed. The existing PACKAGE (#9.4) file entry is updated with this information. The version number entered at this step is used to build target system nodes that look like the code in Figure 420:
