RE: DAMAGED OBJECT: How do I delete it???

>From my experience, the best thing to do would be to run a RCLSTG as soon as
you can.  It should fix the damaged file object and any others that may
exist on your system.  However, RCLSTG does take awhile to run if it's a
large system.  May want to try running it overnight.

Subject: DAMAGED OBJECT: How do I delete it???


On a V3R2 system, I've got an apparent damaged object; a physical data
file (with no logicals).  DSPOBJD shows the object's text as "*** Object
is damaged ***".  Returning to the command line from that command, I am
presented with CPF2115:

 Message ID . . : CPF2115    Severity . . . : 40
 Message type . : Diagnostic
 Date sent  . . : 09/10/01   Time sent  . . : 10:51:05

 Message  . :   Object ACCUSPXT in ASNPDN type *FILE damaged.
 Recovery . :   Either delete the object and then create it
   again, or restore it from another version.

When I try to delete the thing, the job hangs, the job shows no
activity, no CPU being used.  ENDJOB *IMMED took about five minutes.
Now doing a WRKOBJLCK on it, running on ten minutes now, eating up CPU
(8.5% over ten minutes), no results.

If I attempt to restore the object from a backup, will I have the same
problem as when I try to delete it?  Anything else I can do to kill this
thing?  BTW, this is a development box, so I can recreate the file via a
compile.
