Yeah, my knees used to knock loudly when IBM support told me to change a
value in SST. They do that sometimes.

These files are all readable. In fact, they are the base files for a number
of views that make up the system SQL catalog files in QSYS2. This one is a
list of all the fields on all the files on the system. Others include file
dependencies and other cross reference info. Take a look at WRKF QADB*.
You'll see trigger and constraint info stored there, etal.

I beilieve they are strongly protected - possibly cannot be deleted by
mortal man (er, person). They are in the *SYSTEM domain, not *USER domain.
