True, and that's been in the system for many years, so no news there.the
The way to deflect that problem is to use a command exit that checks
for the
parameter and the user to see if that's authorized. Most folks don't do
the command exit (maybe they should) but the incidence of clearing an
object is very rare.
The last time I had it happen and operator decided to clean up the
system overnight. When files QSYSTAP and the sign on display file
were cleared the system stopped. Fortunately the file QSYSTAP can be
easily recreated by hand, and we were able to restore all the files
from the tape they were just backed up on. That happened in about
1992. Last time I've seen it happen.
This is a better reason to use BRMS and have a user profile specified
for the backups perform them. Now the system runs the backup jobs from
scheduler, and full system saves are automated as well. Human
intervention is limited to mounting/demounting tapes.

*SAVSYS authority also allows a user who has it to effectively DELETE
any object on the system by freeing it's storage... It is a VERY
powerful special authority to give anyone.
SAVOBJ OBJ(ANYOBJ)
LIB(ANYLIB)
DEV(*SAVF)
SAVF(ANYSAVF)
STG(*FREE)
DLTF FILE(ANYSAVF)
ANYOBJ is now gone.
Help Storage (STG) - Help
Specifies whether the system storage that is occupied by the data
portion of the specified members (except for save files), modules,
programs, service programs, Structured Query Language (SQL)
packages, and journal receivers in the library being saved is
freed
as part of the save operation. Only the data portion of the
objects
is freed, not the descriptions of the objects.
*KEEP
The storage occupied by the data portion of the objects being
saved is not freed.
*FREE
The storage occupied by the data portion of the specified
objects being saved is freed as part of the save operation.
The
storage for all the objects in a library is freed only after
all
the objects in that library are saved successfully.
