Au contraire...

IIRC, at least some of the tools do indeed do mass recompiles...(into
QTEMP or with OPTION(*NOGEN))

It could be done without doing so, but you'd have to basically have
your own RPG compiler...

Sure you could do the same things the tools do, but if it were easy
the tools wouldn't be so pricy.

My thought was that if those tools can do it, so can I. They can't be recompiling all programs as a part of their tools. I should have access to the same stuff that they are using, right? Regarding recompiles, what if the programs have to have some OVRDBF done before the compile is done...
