RE: Recovery Problem-that blows the MULIC theory out the water

With all due respect it's not true.

MULIC data is NEVER saved. I am pretty sure, that NO SAVxxx command
saves MULIC.
MULIC lives on a load source disk in an area not accessible to operating
system.
So even scratch install will not touch this area.
What you have seen - when system was transferred from 9406 to 9402 -
simply means that MULIC data was already on a target load source.

Again - one only needs MULIC tape ONCE for a life-time of a load source
on a given model of AS/400. (Of course if you physically move load
source to another model of AS/400 you will have to reload MULIC).


    Best regards,

          Alexei Pytel
