You can use SST to do this.  I've had to do it on occasion when I needed to 
restore a single member from a saved file into an existing file without 
being bitten by ALWOBJDIF(*ALL) -- needless to say both files had different 
file level identifiers (really just a date) and the result of a default 
restore was an error message; specifying ALWOBJDIF(*ALL) resulted in the 
existing file being renamed and the new file containing only the member I 
restored -- NOT AT ALL WHAT I WANTED!

Simon Coulter.
