I agree that this does nothing for the poor soul who does not plan ahead but
I also know that feces occurs... It is always nice to have yet another way
to get at that all important information. Sort of like the department of
redundancy department :-)  And being able to see (And source debug from the
object is rather nice!)

In the past there have been products ie. Golden Retriever. That would
attempt to reconstruct the source from the program object... Now we have a
much better alternative and I for one applaud IBM for giving us this option.

Now remember boys and girls Compile all your ILE programs with DBGVIEW(*ALL)
or at the very least DBGVIEW(*LIST) someday you will thank me :-)
