RETRIEVE DELETED PF SRC MEMBERS | Tip: Search400

By using the command validity checker parameter on the RMVM (remove 
member) command you can copy the source member that is being 
deleted to a library where it can be copied back into the library 
and file from which it was deleted. Search400 user Jason Nacey 
provides code that will save you a lot of time in needing to bring 
in backup tapes and restore file members from backup.

ENTIRE SYSTEM SAVE | Advice: Search400

One user writes, "On our 720 box we run the entire system backup 
from SAVE menu option 21. When backing up the user libraries we 
need to omit around 100 libraries that have to be entered manually. 
Is there a way I can pre-define this list or customize the 
command?" One suggestion was made. Do you have any others?

THE MISSING LINK | Cop fined over wife's online strip

He flashed the badge; she flashed everything else. A Florida cop's 
wife decided it was time to get their love life out of its arrested 
state, so she posted some nude pictures of herself on the Internet. 
It was supposed to be a surprise, but unfortunately the hubby's 
fellow officers, including the chief, saw the steamy site and the 
sultry spouse before he did. The smoking gun (or the smokin' 
download in this case) caused hubby to be stripped of his gun, 
badge and handcuffs for three days. Surprise! The chief said his 
officers should be above such things, whether they're on the beat 
or off.
