title: Mass Compile Cobol code in IBM i (aka OS/400, iSeries)
body: <p>I am new to COBOL and AS/400 IBM iSeries world, and am interested in best practices used in this community.</p>
  
  <p>How do people perform batch compilation of all COBOL members, or multiple members at once?</p>
  
  <p>I see that AS/400 source files are organized in libraries, file
  objects, and members. How do you detect which file members are COBOL src
   code to be compiled? Can you get the member file type (which should be CBL
   in this case) via some qshell command?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Akku</p>
