some info... on endevor.
Endevor
ENDEVOR is an integrated set of management tools used to automate,Control, and monitor your applications development process. ENDEVOR runs under MVS, within the TSO/ISPF environment, and in batch.
This tool is used by the programers to get the production version code and do the modifications, move to test environment and then move to production.

Shiva, I am not quite sure what you are looking for when you said explain with Some examples. I would try to explain in generic terms hope this helps.
Endevor is a version control tool; conceptually it?s just like any other version control tool Say Changeman, CVS (NON-MAINFRAME).
Why do we use/need version controlling?
Maintenance of the components of a system.
As you know any system is collection of set of components. (Programs, Copybooks, Sysins, JCL, Proc and the list go on). All these components would reside in a region called as ?PRODUCTION? region.
Let?s assume there are 100 components in a system in production region.
A new requirement came and in effect to that requirement we need to change say 5 elements out of 100.
From the programmers stand point of view he needs to take copies of those 5 elements From production and put in some other region say test/system/regression do the changes required, test the components thoroughly and roll over to the production with the new changes.
As Vamsi99 said
This tool is used by the programmers to get the production version code and do the modifications, move to test environment and then move to production.
The catch here is, until the programmers incorporate the new changes to the system, the system will be still running with the existing code, which implies that programmers need some other region to perform the change control management.
Agreed!!! For this we need version control tool/Change control management tool.
Endevor is one such tool.
Rightly mentioned by Vamsi99
