Re: RTVCLSRC command

  AFaIK [I've never used] the heavy lifting has already been done for 
the effect, from use of the debug-capable CLLE [ILE CL] programs [prior 
to the IBM i 7.1 support], using the Debug APIs:

Retrieve Source from ILE Modules
Aug. 31, 1997 Chris Stead  | System iNEWS Magazine	
(You can download NEWS/400 code from <http://www.as400network.com/code> 
as an AS/400 save file, as separate PC files, or as a PC source code 
"bundle" file.)
"If you've ever encountered AS/400 objects whose source code is missing, 
or you couldn't determine which version of the source code was actually 
running in production, you may find utility RtvSrc a useful little 
utility. For Integrated Language Environment (ILE) programs and service 
programs that contain debugging data, RtvSrc uses IBM-supplied debugging 
APIs to re-create original source code from the debugging data embedded 
in a program. While utility RtvSrc is useful, you should note that 
there's a significant "gotcha," which I describe later.
