Yeah, disassemblers are not magic. There is a loss of information going from source code to object code, and there is no tool that magically makes that information reappear.
I am not familiar with File Manager. I am looking at example "Load Module Information" for a load module compile with the IBM C++ compiler with ARCH specified, and I do not see the ARCH displayed by File Manager.

It works, but it makes you work too, and work quite hard. Not having IBM File Manager available to me, I can’t speak to its accuracy or usability. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
