A program can have multiple types of changes.

  • The *PGM object can have object attribute changes, e.g., someone might change the object text.
  • Program attributes can be changed, e.g., someone might change a program from USRPRF(*USER) to USRPRF(*OWNER).
  • An OPM program might be recompiled from modified source.
  • An ILE program might be updated with a module that had been recompiled from modified source.
  • An ILE program might be updated to reference a service program in a different library.

In short, there are different kinds of changes that can require different methods to track. What exactly are you looking for?
