Hah, you've hit on one of my favorite rants.

This is something I've wanted since I first learned that first dangerous
little bit about ILE--project management software in the sense of defining
the components of an application.  This is something that PC IDEs have had
for a long time, and it's something the 400 needs to make ILE work well.
You should be able to define a "project" specifying the source files,
existing modules, and service programs that compose an application.  You
should be able to do development in a project centric way, and have an easy
way to identify the context of a given program when it needs to be modified.
You should be able to control compiling and binding based on what you've
changed.  

Maybe I've missed this, and it's a part of PDM already. <g>

/*****************     Big Snip ************************************/

If someone doesn't know that PROGRAMA is made up of modules PROGRAMA and
PROGRAMB
then they will simply do a CRTBNDRPG on PROGRAMA, (or at least try).
When they should be doing a CRTRPGMOD on PROGRAMA and then a UPDPGM on
PROGRAMA.
