Start with a good SAVE/21 backup (two wouldn't hurt!).
Would it work to remove a drive from the RAID set? Once that was done, the
removed drive could be used to swap out with the failed drive. Like Lukas
said, I don't know how much of that stuff works with a broken RAID set.
Good luck!

Subject: Disk problem - need advice
Hi,
I have an 9406-520 at V5R3 which I use for development and is not under
maintenance. Disk unit 1 has failed but the system is still running as I
have RAID5 setup. I have looked at eBay for a replacement disk but the only
ones I can find are in the US and cost more in shipping than they do to buy
and I would then have to add import duties and VAT.
The option I am looking at is backing up the system with GO SAVE option 21 ,
removing the failed disk and then restoring the system. I think I would
also have to move one of the other disks to position 1 to replace the failed
unit. Disk usage would still be at about 40% so I am not in desperate need
to replace the failed disk. I would just like to get RAID5 active again on
the remaining disks.
Does this sound reasonable? Is there anything else I should be doing apart
from taking as many backups as I can?

Subject: Re: sql scan for special characters
To use the LIKE predicate and be able to find strings with the wildcard
characters, you have to escape them. You do this using an ESCAPE expression.
You want to use a character that won't otherwise be in any of the values
tested.
LIKE 'AAAA+%BBB%' ESCAPE '+'
means that it will match values that start with AAAA%BBB - the final % sign
is a wildcard, the first one is a true % sign.
Found this in the reference manual under predicates in the language elements
chapter (2, that is).
