info on how to create the object? Isn't that outside the scope of a

In the IBM i world, objects have very special (and unique) characteristics that are critical. Object ownership, authority adoption, etc.

A simple source management system (especially one that's not designed for IBM i) has no concept of these things.

Most modern IBM i change control systems (like MKS Implementer) has the ability to recreate an object based on it's original attributes.

Additionally, they have the ability to retain data in physical files that are being promoted, recompile related programs when promoting a physical or logical file, etc.
