The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

Why not just move the source into the IFS.
How's that supposed to be done? Only QSYS.LIB knows about file members.
This was one of my main questions too. Jim Franz (OP) did say this:
Exporting to text files is simple enough.
I don't know if that meant
(1) Don't worry about telling us how to move source members to text
files, because we already have that covered. We're interested in the
other aspects of maintaining those text files.
or
(2) We know how to export one member at a time easily enough, but we
could use some ideas for how to export the thousands that are on our
system.
If it's the latter, then my recommendation would be to first look for
an existing migration tool. I would think lots of people have had to
do this already. Further, I would think there are both commercial
products as well as open source tools for this.
If I'm wrong and there's nothing out there already, then I would go
ahead and just build one. Personally, I would use Python to do it.
Regardless of implementation language, you should be able to make use
of the system catalog to find all the source members.
