Sigh. . . I said it wouldn't mean anything to a non-mainframe programmer.
There are no repositories (as you think of repositories) in the mainframe world. At least not in the dinosaur world.
I are a COBOL programmer.
There are library systems. They are all third party applications. The shop can use any of them (or none of them). Any connection between the executable and the source is strictly a manual setup. If it is set up well, the set of jobs used to back out the executable can also call the library system and back out the source. The shop I'm in is. . . ahem. . . not well set up. Running one of the library systems is a high paid gig (6 figures). I don't do that.
This structure dates back to the 1960's. . .
