I have felt your pain.

What I do now is put a specially-recognized comment in the RPG source that a
preprocessor app uses to do overrides, or create temporary workfiles (those
that would normally only be in QTEMP), change library list, etc. etc.  It's
the only way to fly.  Here's an example of what I use:

 ...+... 1 ...+... 2 ...+... 3 ...+... 4 ...+... 5 ...+... 6 ...+... 7 ..
      **#$%PRE: RMVLIBLE QTEMP
      **#$%PRE: ADDLIBLE QTEMP *FIRST
      **#$%PRE: CRTPF QTEMP/DL566W SRCFILE(DBCUSTOM/QDDSSRC) SRCMBR(*FILE)
      **#$%PRE:
      **#$%COM: OPTION(*SRCDBG)

My preprocessor expects:
     '**#$%' is required in columns 7-11
     'PRE:'  is required in columns 12-15 for PRE-compiler commands
     'COM:'  is required in columns 12-15 for COMpiler options

Instead of using PDM option 14, I use a user option that calls my
preprocessor, passes Lib/File(SourceMbr) and source type.  The latter is
used to determine which compiler to call.
