REP
<
programming> A directive used in
IBM object code card decks (and later
PTF Tapes) to REPlace fragments of already assembled or compiled object code prior to
link edit. Recompiling or reassembling the
source code to produce a whole new object module was only possible if the
source code was available, which it rarely was (if you had the object you were lucky!) It was also quicker to apply incremental changes with REP cards and they also circumvented the
checksums and
card sequence numbers present in the object code.
