We deliberately *don't* use *LIST for the IP reason - it's just too likely
that we could accidentally ship a program with the source included - we have
a process to do an UPDPGM just prior to shipping that removes debug info,
but we're concerned about something getting missed.

I've often wondered whether IBM could have included some processing to
include an encrypted version of the source in a program, so it could be
debugged, but only by someone who had a debug password.
