Jangareddi,
I could do so and will if after this you still request it., but I feel
obligate to first talk you out of it...
the checkin in comment is always available as metadata to you and easy to
view, but when you place checkin comments in the
code then you end up with large source files as some small files change
alot and some engineers are very "wordy".... imagine a often changed file
that has after a year of development 200 lines of comments at the top
commenting 25 lines of often changed code.. I have seen it...
You could limit the comment string , but that only slows the problem
down... You could only place in the last comment, but then a cleartool
describe on the file would be equivalent to this..
It is possible that you have some really good reason to do this.... perhaps
it was just mandated down to you from higher management, but again I must
stress that perhaps this is not what you "really" want to do ... If I am
wrong, or my cautions do not apply to your particular situation, then of
course I will share a trigger that performs this action.... (or very similar)..
http://www.abs-consulting/abs_consulting_triggers.html
has a trigger called MAKE_VERSION_ID.tgr ... it creates static data in
source code... you could change is very easily to do what your asking.. I
believe you could find the 2 lines that might need to change..

Hope this helps
