  • Prevent Compiled Objects from converting back to source code

    Hi!,
    Need your help! Is there anyway I can prevent people from converting my compiled objects (RPGLE programs) back to its source code?

    if the program is compiled with DBGVIEW(*NONE) they will not be able to retrieve the source from STRDBG. removing observability will prevent decompilers (for the most part anyway) from retrieving the source code. i'm guessing you are working for a ISV? if not then why all the cloak and dagger with the source code?

      Thank you so much! I had to be sure that decompilers cannot retrieve my source codes. Yeah, I'm sort of like working with an ISV.

        Yeah just don't add the debug info. Of course if your creating plain CLP programs I think your out of luck.

        I did some commercial stuff awhile back, didn't really worry about people trying to decompile the source though. There is such a thing as IP infringement.
