But this is a blind restore, and you do NOT know if you have restored
everything.  WHat happens if you had QVFYOBJECT set to 3 or 5, and the
*PGM wasnt signed.  It wouldnt restore using the RSTLIB NONSYS *NEW, but
how would you know you missed it?

  You would be better to do the following;

   DSPJOBLOG - to find out the librarues that had objects that did not
restore.  Get the number of objects and from the Help on the message
you will get the sequence number.

   Then using your list of libraries do a

    RSTOBJ OBJECT(*ALL) Library(library name from above) SEQ(sequence
number from above) ALWOBJDIF(*ALL) MATCH(*ALL)
OPTION(*NEW)REWIND(*LEAVE)

   Now you repeat the RSTOBJ for each library you wrote down in your list
and after each restore, it will tell you the number of objects you
restored, so that you know if you have everything.

  I don't have the Syntax exact on the commands as I am doing them from
memory, but I do this all the time and it is a great way of verifying
everything restores. Sure, there are other ways, but this has always
worked for me.
