*MENU object Attribute error - was Re: Compiling menus via WDSc

The case of QSYS/CLEANUP *MENU with Attribute= PF is an indication of an error. That value as extended attribute is in error, both because it should be UIM, and referring to the help text for the Attribute field shows there are only three supported values:

Attribute - Help (WRKMNU)
Attributes are used to further describe menus. The individual
attribute lists are as follows:
Menu Attribute List
DSPF A display file (*DSPF) menu ...
PGM A program (*PGM) menu is ...
UIM A UIM (*UIM) menu is ...

Way back in early releases there was a problem with RSTUSRPRF which might effect such a condition; attributes tracked to the wrong object. There was also a few releases ago a very narrow timing window which exposed the same opportunity for such a condition; closed by a PTF.

It might be worth collecting the following to review for any unsupported values in ODOBAT field for a particular ODOBTP value. I do not currently have a database file with the supported values for all data types against which to perform a full validation by an SQL query. However a visual review of the SQL query request that follows the data collection request, might make the existence of any similar anomaly conspicuous. After identifying what and how many such errors, get the snapshot noted below, and contact IBM support for recovery action(s); the most simplistic scenario, and for *MENU, it is just DLTMNU and RSTOBJ from a save file taken on another same-release+level system.

dspobjd qsys/*all *all *full output(*outfile)
outfile(qtemp/odqsys) outmbr(*first *replace)

select odobtp,odobat
from qtemp.odqsys
where odobat<>''
group by odobtp,odobat
order by odobtp,odobat

The following requests could be used to record the current information about the QSYS library Object Information Record details [in a snapshot], and for the specific object, if further investigation were required:
ovrprtf qpsrvdmp save(*yes) outq(qprint2) save(*yes) usrdta(oir_info)
dmpsysobj qsys qsys 04 01 offset(020) /* *OIRIDX */
dmpsysobj qsys qsys 04 01 offset(030) /* *OIRSpc */
dmpobj qsys/cleanup *menu
ovrprtf qprtobjd save(*yes) outq(qprint2) save(*yes) usrdta(oir_info)
dspobjd qsys/cleanup *menu *full output(*print)
dspobjd qsys/cleanup *menu *service output(*print)
