Rick,

It is difficult to class executable code as data given that you may or may
not have the source.

Executable code never strictly belongs to IT, in the case of operating
system code it is used under license from the owner who is usually a
software company.

In the case of "home grown" code, this is usually the property of the
corporation, and is not owned by IT per se.

This would also be the case for any wrapper applications such as JCL or
shell scripts.

IT will manage the items it either owns or manages via Change Control tools
such as CA-Endevor and Change Management tools such as Solve.
