Checking Files In and Out of SCCS

You can check files in and out of SCCS using Versioning.

Checking a File Out

To check a file out of SCCS:

1. If the directory that contains the file is not automatically loaded, type the directory path name (followed by Return) in the Directory text box.

2. Click a file icon to select a file; use the middle mouse button to extend the selection.

3. Choose either Commands > Checkout > Default or Commands > Checkout > Check Out, and Commands > Edit. As the file is checked out a check mark appears in its icon.

Checking a File In

To check a file in to SCCS:

1. When you are ready to check the file back in, select the file and choose Commands > Check In to open the Check In popup window.

2. Enter a comment in the text pane that describes your changes and click Check In to complete the check in process.

   The check mark is removed from the file icon as the file is checked in.
