  Oh, and just to contradict the obviousness of that OBJ() parameter 
documentation...  Like with the library special values *ALL and *ALLUSR 
for the "Library" of the named object, the OBJ() specification using a 
GENERIC* [or "Generic*"] object name will similarly process all objects 
by that name prefix [of the specified type; not multiple types] across 
multiple libraries, because there is not a specific object name to be 
found.  I did not look for any specific help text or any other 
documentation explaining that effect.

  So if acceptable to include other similarly named objects [i.e. any 
object with the same generic name] in the output, then the request could 
be made to instead:

    DSPOBJD OBJ(*LIBL/QCLSRC*) OBJTYPE(*FILE)
