Working with Branches

The VCProjectID setting in the .edp file adds a prefix to the current ISN number of objects in the source files. The purpose of this setting is to provide a distinguished ID for the representation of internal objects in the source files. This provides the proper infrastructure for third party apps, such as compare and merge tools.

You should provide a different number for each version that you want to merge. For example, the main version of your application will have the value of 0, a branch (or subversion) of your application will have the value of 1, another branch (or version) will have the value of 2.

The VCProjectID setting is designated to provide support for branches while the Version Control ID environment setting is designated to provide future support in multiple check outs of the same object in the same projects.

Note: You should not use this option if you have Record Main Compatible logic units in your application. The RM Converter utility does not support applications that use this setting.

Default: 0 (meaning that no prefix will be added to the ISN numbers)

Range of values: 0 - 63
