I'm a little confused.

Just to get started, what do you mean by copysrc? Stuff that is used in
RPGLE with /copy and/or /include statements?

If so, then how would one know you had an issue unless you WERE doing a
recompile?

Trying to think how such a migration might work, and I can see it being
really different based on the vendor's mind set.

For example, if I was migrating from version x to version y of some
vendor's package they may first migrate all the data to a new library in a
new format. Like add new columns, change column attributes, etc.
Then they would recompile all programs to get these new layouts. Some may
ask why they would recompile versus just sending you end version objects
and the answer would be because they may allow you to add your own
modifications to the new tables.

As far as testing /copy or /include one may have to see if they have a
hardcoded library on the statement, or if their instructions assume a
certain order in your library list.
