DBGVIEW(*SOURCE) requires you to have the actual source file for the program available on your system. DBGVIEW(*LIST) could be used by some utility to reconstruct the program source, but that option increases the size of the program object dramatically. For many production programs, this information will not be available. >> Note that these services are no substitute for proper >> maintenance and archiving of program source.

Considering that it's very likely (IMHO) that no company will ever offer source recovery services for ILE programs, will that make a difference in your disaster recovery plan for your ILE apps?
