Retreiving a bound operator's module in OMBPLUS

Question

Is it possible to get the module name that an operator is bound to in OMBPlus?
For instance, if I create this mapping ...
OMBCREATE MAPPING 'MY_MAP' ADD TABLE OPERATOR 'MY_OPERATOR' BOUND TO TABLE '../MY_MODULE/MY_TABLE'
This command will return the bound name...
OMBRETRIEVE MAPPING 'MY_MAP' OPERATOR 'MY_OPERATOR' GET PROPERTIES (BOUND_NAME)
Returns "MY_TABLE"
Is it possible to get the module name ("MY_MODULE" or "../MY_MODULE/")?
I am trying to write a script to reconcile all the operators in a mapping to their bound object but I need to be able to specify the module that the operator exists in. The only way I have been able to do it so far is to create an array that returns the module name when you give it an operator name. I'd prefer not to do it this way since I have to run another script to create the array and it takes a while to run.
Thanks!

Hello, the right command is
OMBRETRIEVE MAPPING 'MY_MAP' OPERATOR 'MY_OPERATOR' GET BOUND_OBJECT
Here is a sample script I sometimes use to reconcile the table operators in a mapping. It's different from what you want to achieve but it can be a good starting point (use at your own risk...) recently I have written a more elaborate script to 'reconcile' not only the operators with a bound object but also joins etc to which they are connected so that I have a clean mapping. Also you can achieve the effect of changing, say a datatype in a field of a source table, or add a new field, an then cascade the change to all tables/mappings/operators which are somewhat connected to it. But this is maybe TOO dangerous to post it here.
