Changing a Module or

Program

An ILE object may need to be changed for enhancements

or

for

maintena

reasons.

You

can isolate

what

needs

to

be changed by

using

debugging

tion

or the binder listing from the CRTPGM command. From

this

information

y

can

determine what module needs to

change,

and

often,

what

procedure

needs to

change.

In

addition, you may want to change

the

optimization

level

or

observab

module or program. This often happens

when

you

want

to

debug

an

progra

module,

or

when

you are

ready

to put

a

program

into

production.

Such

can

be performed more quickly and use fewer system

resources

than

re

the

object

in

question.

Finally, you may want to reduce the program size once you have comple application. ILE programs have additional data added to them which may them larger than a similar OPM program.

Each of the above requires different data to make the change. The need may not be available to you for an ILE program.

The following sections tell you how to

¹Update a program

¹ Change the optimization level

¹Change observability

¹Reduce the object size
