If it is source members, write a cl to process cpytopcd all the individual
members. Using one of the display member commands, you can get a list of
members in a library returned into an outfile and process it with cl,
using the fields to feed your cpytopcd. I am at home and don't recall
which command, but you will probably remember before I do.

Else, ftp it down from the qsys file system. Zip those objects so they can
be ftp'd up to the target systems. This is how Java is being distributed.
