Retrieve values from existing objects

Create or modify objects requires you to specify parameters (i.e. Activation Group, Form Size, Orientation, Size, Reuse Delete records and so on). These parameters may be retrieved from the existing object and prompted.

A possible list of object creation / update commands can be:
CRTxxxPGM, CRTBNDPGM, CRTxxxMOD, CRTSRVPGM, UPDSRVPGM, CRTPF, CRTLF, CHGPF, CHGLF, CRTPRTF.Of course some of these require a possibility to replace an existing object.


Use Case:

Developers must specify the parameters (call them attributes if you prefer) to create or modify existing objects.

    It does not fit for the current architecture. So we will have to respectfully reject it
