Hello Masters Need UR Kind Help,

Since they are using sccs hp tools for maintaining source code.

Hi,

Use the command get.
See the man-page for get if you want
to extract one particular version of the
source-file.
sccs is not an HP tool, you will find it
on most UNIX-machines.

Hi again,

As the file endes with the extention ,v it
may be that RCS has been used for source
code revision control - not sccs.

If that is the case you must use the
rcs command co
Example:

co filename.sql

will check out the latest version of
filename.sql

You may use the rlog command as a quick
check to see if RCS has been used:

rlog filename.sql

will give you an overview of the various
versions of filename.sql if RCS has been
used
