Re: "Remove BPCS File Members" (SYS124)

["Clare Holtham" <Clare.Holtham@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello there,

I remember we (SSA) did have a programmer who wrote a solution for the
problem of excess file members (wsids and users that no longer exist on the
system etc), and I believe this option is it, however maybe you could test
it first on a test environment !

cheers,

Clare
