You can also get at OPM debug if you use STRDBG OPMSRC(*YES). Or you could
use STRISDB.

In any case, if you have the debug info (doubtful - and it'd need to be the
listing view, not the source view), you want to capture it. One way could
use the STRCPYSCN command, with output to a file. Then STRDBG and scroll
through the source. Every screen will be written to the file.

You may have to do it twice, if there is source data off to the right.

Then use an editor like TextPAd or CodeWright or ? to massage things - voila!

Know a good lawyer?

Your only other recourse is a VERY expensive source retrieval.  The only
company I know of is Source Retrieval (www.sourceretrieval.com), although
I've heard that ASC might have some capabilities as well.

Finally, if the observability has been removed, even source retrieval won't
work.  However, that brings up an interesting point.  You may still be able
to get at the source for ILE RPG programs.  Try using STRDBG on the programs
to see how much source was included in the compile.
