RE: Change Non Observable to Observable?

["Pytel, Alexei" <pytela1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Most probably CHGPGM is used to remove observability.
You can concoct CHGPGM command of your own (to do nothing) and place it
in a top library in a library list. 
If they explicitly call QSYS/CHGPGM you may need to replace it
temporarily.

    Best regards,
