(pmr opened on compile issue, they can duplicate, rerunning the command
works)

If I use this command to compile from the IFS:
CRTBNDRPG PGM(ROB/AAXYZ) SRCSTMF('/rob/aa.rpgle')

On this program:
....+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....
 ************Beginning of data**************
      /DEFINE HSpec
      /COPY ROUTINES/QRPGLESRC,HSPEC
      /UNDEFINE HSpec
      /copy /rob/aa2.rpgle

      /DEFINE DSpec
      /COPY ROUTINES/QRPGLESRC,SRVPGMCPY
     D* Your D specs ...
      /UNDEFINE DSpec

     C/FREE
       *INLR=*ON;
      /END-FREE
 ************End of Data********************

Then I do a DSPPGM of ROB/AAXYZ, I see:

Oh crud, methinks they are missing something here!

Program  . . . . . . . :   AAXYZ         Library  . . . . . . . :   ROB

Module attributes:
  Module . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   AAXYZ
    Library  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :     QTEMP
  Source file  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :
    Library  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :
  Source member  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :

I also checked the API QBNLPGMI and there's nothing in there.  PMR is
opened.  They were wondering when DSPPGM, and the API, will catch up.  I
was told that C had the ability to compile from IFS for some time now.

Now that the RPG people are using this, and are probably more prone to
DSPPGM, then maybe this will get fixed.
