Lost DSPF source

Things were going so well. . .

Here's the scenario (hopefully to help you recreate the problem.)

I had (notice past tense) a dspf with 3 sfl's and 3 records.

In sfl #2 I had the SFLMSGID keyword and replacement field &ERRMSG:

     A  30                                  SFLMSGID(CPF9898 QSYS/QCPFMSG 30
+
     A                                      &ERRMSG)
. . .
     A            ERRMSG        78A  P

In designer, in the left pane, I copied the keyword to sfl #3 and then I
copied the ERRMSG field to sfl #3.  I saved the file.  I usually save after
every step.  There was a red 'X' over the key symbol so to be sure I
verified the file.  The verify returned no errors, and the 'X' went away.

Good.  I exited Designer.  I put to host.  Compile failed.  It's 10:30 pm so
I know this is a bad sign.

I look at the compile listing and it says there is no control record for sfl
#3.

Frequent saving doesn't help in this case.  I'm trying to figure out
checkpoints but haven't got it figured out yet.  When designer crashes, the
latest checkpoint is a few saves back.
