OK. So I've recently been introduced to the fact that when you copy a load
module from a PDS to a PDSe with IEBCOPY, it magically becomes a Project
Object. I've been reading what I can find and it seems that operation is
ok, but that moving the other way... PDSe PO to a PDS LM is a no no since
their may be 'features used in the Project Object which are not available
to the Load Module'. I then read, however, that the same binder creates
the PO or LM based on the library its headed to. Huh?
So my questions are this:
1) Did I get that right?
2) Where is the document that describes the features available to Project
Objects which are not available to Load Modules?
I've got a developer group that recently 'discovered' that their test
libraries are PDSes and their production libraries are PDSs. They saw the
difference in the look of the load modules and got to asking questions.
They have had no trouble with this operation - just curious at this point.
Thanks!

AFAIK if you create an executable load module and convert it to a
program object by copying the load module to a PDSE there will be no
problem moving it back to load module format.
Creating a load module from a program object will only fail if you need
program object features that cannot be implemented in load modules.
