Provide a QteRetrieveModuleViews API that works when NOT in Debug Mode

No APIs return the DBGVIEW(*LIST | *SOURCE | *ALL | *NONE | *STMT) attribute for programs or embedded *MODULEs except QteRetrieveModuleViews. However it, like all Qte* API are enabled only while the job is in Debug Mode. Please provide this information via another API or enable QteRetrieveModuleViews so that it works while the job is NOT in debug mode.

    I'd like to amend my statement where I state that these APIs only work in Debug mode. They only work if the object being retrieved has been placed in Debug Mode. So simply starting debug still does not allow the APIs to run over any authorized object. For example, i need to include the Debug View setting in a list of program's that I may need to recompile due to a migration or 3rd-party software change. I need to make sure I can recall (retrieve) the DBGVIEW setting along with the other compiler information that would be returned by the other interfaces such as QBNRSPGM and QCLRPGMI. I suppose alternatively you could just return that debug view info to these other APIs. That'd be good enough for now.
