Excellent example.  Best way to compare our binding to the C programmer
new to the 400.

Do your auditors require source on the production machine?  A module is no
more relevant to the program object than is the source.  In a completely
secured environment, you would do neither compiles nor binds on the
production machine, so you'd need neither the source nor the modules for
auditing purposes.

Think of it the same way you would a C program.  You create a C program by
linking together a bunch of .obj files.  In a production environment,
you'd
never see those .obj files.
