Source code control system (SCCS)

Creating an SCCS file using admin

Using a text editor, create a file called lang, which contains a list of following programming languages:

C
PL/1
FORTRAN
COBOL
ALGOL

Custody of the lang file can be given to SCCS by using the admin(CP) (administer) command. The following command creates an SCCS file from the lang file:

admin -ilang s.lang

All SCCS file names must begin with s., therefore s.lang. The -i option, together with its value argument (lang), indicates that admin is to create a new SCCS file with the contents of the file lang.

The output of the admin command is:

No id keywords (cm7)

This is a warning message that can also be issued by other SCCS commands. Ignore it for now. Its significance is described later with the get(CP) command. In the following examples, this warning message is not shown, although it may be issued.

Remove the lang file. It is no longer needed because it now exists under SCCS as s.lang. Enter:

rm lang
