RE: Restore a source member

Jack,

I wrote the following program (called RECYCLE) and changed the RMVM
command to use it as a Validity Checker. It's saved my life MANY
times...

Note that it should be compiled with USRPRF(*OWNER) and then owned by
QSECOFR, otherwise you may get auth errors. Obviously you can add
processing to save different source members, omit them etc. based on
user profile etc.

RECYCLE - Save deleted source members

HTH,

p.s. Credit where credit is due - I cribbed this from someone else a
long time ago, so I'd hesitate to take full (or indeed, any) credit for
it. I think it was posted to one of the forums several years ago.
