There are many programs, with new programs added regularly, that all use the same *ENTRY/PLIST. This seems a great candidate for developing a PR/PI copy member for future programs.

Here is the stumbling block for me. I don't know how to handle the EXTPGM() keyword. The external program will vary , depending on what the program using the PR/PI is doing. I tried using a variable name in the extPgm(TRGTPGM) but that did not compile.
