An OPM COBOL (for example) *PGM can have info stored in its 'associated space' and later retrieved. The info can survive program calls as well as saves/restores (important). For some purposes, this is extremely handy.
Is there a similar function available for ILE?
The Add Associated Space Entry (QbnAddAssociatedSpaceEntry) API is similar to the Store Program Associated Space (QCLSPGAS) API, but seems to work on modules before they're bound into programs. Once the program is created, no further additions/changes seem possible.
The reason this comes to mind is the future charges for OPM compilers separate from ILE. It'd be a challenge to justify buying an OPM license for such a small element. I have 'a way' around it, but it'd be best to know a 'real' method.
Thanks for any suggestions.
