I don't think there's a related TAATOOL. With all the people
making the assumption error, calling it RMVLFM would have
been dangerous. What would such a TAATOOL do - remove all
the logical file members based on
said physical file member?

Actually a tool that effects "remove all LFM over named PFM" is valuable to enable RMVM against a PFM, for lack of a RMVDEPLFM() parameter; i.e. much like a DLTDEPLF(*YES) on CHGPF or CASCADE on DROP TABLE, when such a function could be invoked prior to the RMVM. I am not sure how dangerous it would be, if the intent is to enable removing the physical member, since that operation is disallowed until the logical [files and\or] members are already removed. I have written such a tool [one-offs; but not by that name] a few times using DSPDBR TheLib/ThePF MBR(named) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) output as input to RMVM requests. That was not very good for VIEW or VIEW over VIEW however.
