And you are (of course) aware of the help text for the MODULE() parameter of 
UPDPGM that states:

"If the library of the module being replaced is different
from the library of the replacing module, the module's
library after the update will remain the library the
module was in when the program was first created."

That is, for ILE programs, be very careful how you handle module info from 
program information. However, source file info seems generally okay.
