Re: Copy a *PGM object

[Mark Waterbury <mark.s.waterbury@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Patrik, and Greg,

The correct way to replace a *PGM that may be "in use" is to recompile from source with the REPLACE(*YES) parameter specified, or recompile into another library, and then use the QLIRNMO API to move/rename/replace the compiled object with the new one.  

This API was added at V2R3, IIRC, and provides the same functionality as the REPLACE(*YES) parameter on the various CRTxxxPGM commands ...

The API also works equally well with bound *PGMs and *SRVPGMs.

Hope that helps,

Mark S. Waterbury

I can confirm this even for ancient V4.
