When you compile a program, display file or command, the previous version 
of that object is renamed (using an internal naming convention) and moved 
to QRPLOBJ.

This avoids a "routing step error", which was a common problem with the 
System/38.

The QRPLOBJ library is implicitly cleared during each IPL.  This was an 
effective maintenance strategy on CISC AS/400's, but not so effective 
today.  48 bit CISC AS/400's had to be re-IPLed periodically to recover 
addressability. Most users did this weekly or monthly.  The 64 bit RISC 
AS/400's can literally go for years without an IPL!

There is a TAA Tool to delete objects in QRPLOBJ by age, called DLTOLDQRPL.
