A good change log for system work should include a CL program containing all the changes you have made to your system. But somehow you don't always remember to put all those changes into the CL program right away. When the system modifications involve configuration changes, RTVCFGSRC can be used to "de-compile" a line/controller/device configuration into CL source code. Don't worry if you lost all those little scraps of paper on your desk describing controllers, lines, and so on. Just run this command and send the CL to your source file.
If you have not been recording your configuration changes, you may want to specify all configurations and all configuration types the first time you use the command, like this:
RTVCFGSRC CFGD(*ALL) CFGTYPE(*ALL) +
SRCFILE(SYSMOD/QCLSRC) +
SRCMBR(CFGMOD)
In this example configuration modifications are kept in library SYSMOD under the name CFGMOD.
