As Phil stated, the additional restrictions imposed by QALWOBJRST and
QFRCCVNRST could prevent these programs from being restored.

I only meant that checksums are necessary to make the restore even possible
(assumes you want to).

The first vendor you're trusting is IBM.

For the record, I did not write UNDELM (or any part of WRKDBF).  It's a fine
tool, I use and recommend it.   I only sited it as an example of a patched
