        [Leif Svalgaard]  Gary, this is a great idea. Good for debugging,
        snooping, all kinda things. Just wrote a little program to do this
on 
        my V4R3M0 level 50 box. It turns out that you must grab the files
        while the other job is still running, as all objects in the
permanent
        library are deleted when the first job ends. Don't do this with QSYS
        :-)
