× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.

well i suppose if you deleted all the commands, you could not prompt RSTOBJ to restore it back from tape. (chicken/egg)

you can restore from a savsys though, its not difficult but you have to use some parms you might not normally use.

similar thing would happen if you deleted QCPFMSG *msgf

no way to use menus or get messages since they all exist in there.

An earlier topic about changing command defaults and the unfortunate
consequence bewteen SELCMD and DLTCMD brought this question to mind.

I was told, by an IBM person in 1990, that on v1r2m0, a person with QSECOFR
could delete commands from QSYS, but they could NOT be restored. I had no
desire to test that.

Does anybody know if that was true? What I dimly recall was object
ownership was supposedly an issue. It doesn't make a lot of sense.

If this >was< true, any idea when it changed?

This is a somewhat useless question, and I apologize. But, it is like
trying to get a song out of your mind (I won't suggest any songs here).
