Bruce:

One potential additional thought... see ILE RPG Reference, Chapter 13, Control 
Specifications. There are other ways than adding H-specs to program source to 
set many/most/all(?) those options. They can generally be controlled externally 
on a job, user or even system-wide basis. By placing the options into the 
described data areas, you can choose which are active by compiling with 
different library lists for example -- different job descriptions, different 
user profiles, crtdupobj, whatever you choose to control it with.

This _might_ be useful as a start to get whatever H-specs you want set for all 
compiles initially. You _might_ then be able to go into source members at a 
more leisurely pace later.
