Terri,
Answer to your question is yes, if you want to purchase a TurnOver - (AS/400
Programmer Worklist Manager Workshop) to resolve your issue. Great Tool.
But if you are small shop, likely don't want to spend such money.

Some of my recommendations:
1: You can use "F14=Saved Definitions" function to restore deleted action
diagrams. This only works if you always save at edit.

2: Use "9. Save / Restore functions" rather than copy to sets. This way you
don't have to run the pre-processor next time you compile and it remembers
Member & Object names. You still have to delete original definition before
you restore. Although F14=Saved Definitions function do work, I usually save
an old copy to be safe. ex: BIL550B to BIL550BSV.

3: I make an old object copy before moving a new object to Live. ex: BIL550B
to BIL550SV, BIL550O to BIL550OSV. This way if something goes wrong I can
quickly restore old objects.

Hope this help.

Hi,
     We are on V6.0.4, mixed mode. I was wondering how other people manage
their modified action diagrams. We have two sets, V64BPCSUSR & V64BPCSPGM.
We do all our mods in PGM. The problem is, the action diagram isn't put
back in USR after it goes into production. The result is in PGM, we have
mods that never went live, programs being worked on, and production
programs.  (It's not to hard to manage because we have a small shop.)  The
big reason they don't get moved is the fact you can't do a replace to
another set. You first have to delete the action diagram from USER, then
copy it to there, then delete it from PGM. Is there an easier way to do
this? I just got lightly burned by modifying a program that had been
changed previously, but not thoroughly tested. When I put my changes in
place something unexpected blew up.  Thanks for any input.
