Rich,
Whatever you do by hand now to compile your source files can be done in a
streamed job file (which, btw, is nothing more complicated than a flat ascii
file that you put together using any editor).
In our case, we've written three or four variants on the same theme. I've
enclosed below a file we call SEGMENTS that is used to direct the mass compile
of QueryCalc. There are about 100 programs in this list that get compiled into
the one program that is QueryCalc.
/t segments
FILE UNNUMBERED
/l all

3 This file contains the list of QueryCalc programs and
4 the segments they compile into.

6 Some file segments are intentionally left out of the
7 compile sequence. Dawson started these segments, but
8 they have never been used. They are:

A very simple BASIC program called TOTLCOMX is then run, as part of the
streamed job, to read SEGMENTS, thereby generating a new file, CALCCOMP, that
provides the BASIC compiler with entry point and segmentation information in
the way that it wants to see it:
/t calccomp
FILE UNNUMBERED
/l all
1 CONTROL USLINIT
2 COMPILE QCSEQ
3 ENTRY QCSEQ
4 COMPILE QCUPDATE
5 ENTRY QCUPDATE
6 COMPILE QCFORMAT

8 CONTROL SEGMENT=SEG1
9 COMPILE QCUSER
10 ENTRY QCUSER

20 CONTROL SEGMENT=SEG3
21 COMPILE QCSYNTAX
22 ENTRY QCSYNTAX
23 CONTROL SEGMENT=SEG4
24 COMPILE QCCOMMA
25 ENTRY QCCOMMA
26 CONTROL SEGMENT=SEG5
27 COMPILE QCSCINPT
28 ENTRY QCSCINPT
29 COMPILE QCCOMMB
30 ENTRY QCCOMMB
31 CONTROL SEGMENT=SEG6
32 COMPILE QCCOMMC
33 ENTRY QCCOMMC
34 CONTROL SEGMENT=SEG7
35 COMPILE QCCOMMD
36 ENTRY QCCOMMD
37 COMPILE QCPRTROW
38 ENTRY QCPRTROW
39 CONTROL SEGMENT=SEG8
40 COMPILE QCCOMME
41 ENTRY QCCOMME
42 COMPILE QCCOMMF
43 ....
The UDC command to launch this mass compile is relatively simple:
12 **
13 COMPQC FNAME=QCALCTST
14 RUN TOTLCOMX
15 PURGE !FNAME,TEMP
16 PURGE !FNAME
17 PURGE USLF
18 FILE USLF,NEW;SAVE;DISC=8000
19 BASICOMP CALCCOMP,*USLF
20 PREP USLF,!FNAME;MAXDATA=31100;RL=QCRL;CAP=IA,BA,PH,PM
21 SAVE !FNAME
22 RELEASE !FNAME
23 **
Similar structures have been put together to also perform partial compiles --
as well as mass compiles that automatically FCOPY the end result directly into
the production and distribution accounts.
While the details will obviously vary for you, I'm sure the same technique
will work just fine in your situation. The technique above costs nothing to
implement -- and it's proven itself to be very robust. We've been using it for
15 years now.
Moreover, these few steps have proven themselves to be very flexible. Whenever
we want to change the basic segmentation structure of QueryCalc or add or
delete programs from QC, all we have to do is edit the SEGMENTS flat file and
launch a new COMPQC compile at the colon prompt.
