The compiler has the ability to generate the PCML. I don't think
there's a way to interrogate a *PGM object to find the parameter

Hmmm ... although I've never tried this, you might want to look into the QBNRPII api.

Looks like this might generate what you are looking for.

That would work to retrieve the PCML _if_ the compiler had generated PCML into the module at compile time. For RPG it would have been compiled with PGMINFO(*PCML:*MODULE) on the command or the H spec.

Here's the source for a command and its command-processing-program that calls QBNRPII to display the PCML embedded in the program or srvpgm, if any. The program could easily be modified to copy the PCML to a stream file.
