I actually do it the other way around.  By keeping a copybook of commonly used
keywords, I can whip out a CMD object very, very fast.  Then I wrote a simple
utility which accepts a command object name as input and bunch of option
settings, and it generates the CL program for me from a variety of templates
generating all the DCL's, handling list processing, setting up any overrides
needed, and optionally does stuff like setting up OPNQRYF processing, submitting
itself to batch, yada, yada.

The command processing capabilities of OS/400 has always seemed woefully
under-utilized by application programmers, IMHO.
