Re: Change Non Observable to Observable?

Mary Jo,
It's impossible to create an observable pgm from an unobservabl,
otherwise the migration could work on all pgms.

Under the cmd BLDWNDPGM works a pgm, probably a CLP.
If this pgm allows RTVCLSRC you can retrieve the source of the executing
cmd pgm, change it so you can regenerate the window pgm with all its
observable data.
