Re: Breeding like rabbits!!!

The reason I prefer the CLRLIB before restore is MAYBE some files were 
intentionally deleted from the library you are restoring from, and if you 
don't clear the target library first those files will remain in that 
library when maybe they shouldn't be there.

Changing your restore parms to mbropt(*all) and alwobjdif(*all) will
keep this from happening too

every time the file gets restored
