Brendan,

A truly brilliant piece of lateral thinking!

There's a couple of tiny things. OVRPRTF should be to QPPGMDMP, not
QPPGMDSP and the RCVMSG should have MSGTYPE(*LAST) to ensure it picks up
the CPF0570. There's also a vanishingly small possibility that someone will
actually create a BADLIB/BADFIL that works. You could just as well use an
existing file that's guaranteed to be on the system and fail such as
QSYS/QADSPOBJ.
