At my first developer job 25 years ago, any time we made a change in the code we had to add a comment at the end of each modified line with our initials and the date, because we had no version control.
Yes, if your customers insist on storing the source files on IBM i in “QSYS.LIB” and you are not allowed to develop locally in you favorite IDE. The old “AS/400 developers” fight tooth and nail to store the source code in the in the database instead of “Integrated File System”, so it’s always a pain. 🤮
Fortunately there is IBM BOB which makes transfer really easy.

That‘s how I still do it today, 'cause: no version control. 🙈 I wished I could use Git. But im my customer project there isn’t any…
That’s how we do it today… with version control. I get angry every time I have to do it
there’s absolutely no reason you can’t use git
