I'll be using yr code to modify our production installation tool.
Now for recreating the LFs that aren't taken care of by the CHGPF
: my first thought would be a SRVPGM in SQLRPGLE.

How would one recreate the LF's once the details for their creation
are prepared with an SQL cursor? QCMDEXC ? An API ? CALL to CLP ?

Instead of a SRVPGM, could the CLP that did the CHGPF call a REXX
procedure to create these LFs? I don't know if a cursor can be
used by REXX.

I am not clear on what is meant\desired. Do you mean you want to perform some dynamically prepared SQL DDL? If so, REXX can do that, but so can an SQL RPG service program. REXX is a good choice if some create requests might be CRTLF while others are CREATE VIEW and/or CREATE INDEX.
