RE: What to do with QRCL objects after RCLSTG

Dan,

One of the things that RCLSTG does is find those objects which are not
in a library and stick them in QRCL.  Due to hard crashes and other bad
things, these objects have lost their association with a library and
could never have been accessed through normal operating system methods.
This is most likely the source of your objects and the reason they have
*N listed as their library.

I usually keep the things around for a while and eventually clear the
library.  Perhaps more pragmatic individuals would clear the library
immediately.  I have _never_ taken an object from QRCL and moved it back
to production.

Andy Nolen-Parkhouse
