Re: Restore QSPL to get back spool files

Al,

According to the logs, the culprit was a clroutq. The assumption made was
apparently, that whatever was in outqs not starting with "Q" were not
required. I am not sure how sombody could make this assumption. The PM also
says that he assumed that people would know not to blow things away without
a backup.

Thanks for all the answers. I am cutting and pasting all the answers into a
document and sending it to the PM. Hopefully, something will good will come
out of all this.
