Re: Parm identification routine...

[Gene_Gaunt/ReviewWorks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Yes, a parameter identification routine exists.  I have the program.  I'll
try to publish it soon.  It works on OPM/ILE programs and ILE service
programs, provided the caller has at least *USE authority to the target
program and library, the target program is in user domain, and the target
program is observable (has creation data).

This is from a subset of my program that regenerates an MI source member
from an observable program object, and puts symbol names from the symbol
table into correct places in the MI source.  By the way it's interesting to
run it over third party software.  It fails of course over OS/400 because
that comes with no observability.  However some time ago (V2R1, I think)
the OS/400 did come with at least one observable program: the program that
crunched, folded, and encrypted passwords and stuffed them into QSYUPTBL.
Ever since V2R1 we've puzzled why, why did they ship observability on that
program.  The same crunch-fold-encrypt algorithm is still used in V4R4.
