As you pointed out, your problem is not with RLU but is a source management issue. Now I am not repeat NOT defending RLU here. You said the object had been moved but the source hadn't? If that's what you meant then it shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to find the source. Use the following commands: DSPFD library/printer-file Look in the spooled file for the following line (on the first page): Device File Attributes Externally described file . . . . . . . . . : Yes Since the file is externally defined we can learn more from the object itself. DSPOBJD library/print-file *FILE Take option 8=Display service attributes Object . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : PRTEX4A Library . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : IRPGV1LIB Type . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *FILE Source file . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : QDDSSRC Library . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : IRPGV1LIB Member . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : PRTEX4A Attribute . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : PRTF Looky there! I know where the source is. Of course, none of this will help if the source has been moved but then we're back to te real problem -- source management.
