Re: Observability in CL programs

[Keith Carpenter <carpcon@xxxxxxx>]

Yes.  Visibility = MI Template available.  CLP programs without
retrievable source still store CMD strings in the associated space.
This is done to perform runtime CMD authority checking.  If you dump the
object you'll see these strings.  It's not source but they can give a
good idea of what the program is doing.
