Without the aid of a safety net

Bugger! Bloody SEU doesn't have an undo facility. I just deleted a whole bunch of source by accident. :-(

That's two hours work down the drain...

One of my favourite iSeries "features" is that 4=Delete and 5=Display. They're very close on the keyboard and I'm a cpar typsti.

Another one - the SLTCMD command. Try it - it's dead handy. But when trying something like SLTCMD *ALLUSR/*ALL, remember that the 'D' key is rignt next to the 'S' key...

Simon:
You've got to be kidding right? If you aren't, did you have *ALLOBJ authority at the time?
Oh the humanity!

I was lucky, Jay; I have made the SLTCMD/DTLCMD mistake, but I was looking for the commands in a specific user library at the time, one of my own, and I was able to recompile all the lost commands. Could have been *much* worse.

Whew! What a relief. I was going to spend all morning agonizing over your pain.

Dear lord, what quality technology.

Of course, if you can get VIM on an iSeries all will be well ;-)
