Re: QWHOUTFL is corrupt...okok, the rest of the story...

I just looked on my V4R2 system, the only thing named QWHOUTFL is a program
(NOT a file!) in QSYS.  It sounds like it's in the System Entry Point Table,
since the system could still find it after it was renamed.  I would be leery
of just trying to fix this one thing unless I knew that whatever corrupted
it didn't corrupt anything else in your customer's OS.  If it did, I'd
re-install the OS.  If it didn't, I'd find a PTF that updates that program
and install it, if possible.  For example, on V4R2 PTF SF52842 supplies a
new copy of QWHOUTFL, so if I didn't have that PTF applied I'd install it.
If I had it temporarily applied, I'd remove it and then reload and apply it
from a fresh ECS download.  If I had it permanently installed, I'd look for
a superseding PTF in SF97420.  If that failed, I'd call IBM.
