An apprentice removed his thumb while using a band saw. I'm not sure
where the value of the band saw would be, other than to injure
employees and scare the blue blazes out of onlookers.
Idiots will mange to accomplish damage with almost any technology. If
your night operator had bothered to read the help text for STG(*FREE)
he/she/it would have known how it worked. What part of "data
portion ... is freed" is unclear?
At least the restore to recover the objects saved with STG(*FEE) would
have been less painful than if the object headers had also been deleted.
The value of STG(*FREE) is in building a hierarchical storage
solution. For example, frequently accessed objects in main storage
(via SETOBJACC), often used objects on DASD as usual, infrequently
used objects stored off-line but accessible via the Storage Extension
Exit Point (i.e., automatically restored when a request to access is
received).
