Paul,
The API QLIRNMO was designed for exactly this purpose. It has been available since V2R3.
Hope that helps,

Hi,
When replacing an object with another version you can get users dumping with MCH3402... the famous "Tried to refer to all or part of an object that no longer exists."
The only method to avoid this seems to be recompiling the source with REPLACE(*YES) which causes the system to create a copy of the existing program in QRPLOBJ. A simple WRKOBJPDM option 3 or 11, which also requests to replace the object, doesn't seem to create such a copy.
Personally I don't like the idea of recompiling (for various reasons), neither do auditors which often state that compilers and sources don't belong on a production system.
So how can this be avoided, how are you installing new programs/emergency fixes in environments with close to zero downtime ?
Kind regards,
Paul
