RE: restoring data file and program

["Dwayne Allison" <Dwayne.Allison@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We use Production #2 to run program jobs.  I found some of our program
were not working and we were thing of just restoring the program library
now, because we already restored the physical & logical file library at
the beginning of the month.  

Will this cause any error, that will bit us?

Dwayne,

There are, at least, two potential outcomes.  First, if you restored the

program libraries to Production #2, you might not have the latest 
"stuff."  Which is, I think, to what you were alluding.

Second, if the files are changed on Production #1, the programs 
obviously have to be changed there, as well.  If you then tried to 
access the files on Production #2 with these programs you would get a 
level check.

If it were me, I'd backup and restore the program libraries to 
Production #2 when I restored the data files.  But it really depends 
upon what the purpose of Production #2 is, doesn't it?
