  Actually a tool that effects "remove all LFM over named PFM" is 
valuable to enable RMVM against a PFM, for lack of a RMVDEPLFM() 
parameter; i.e. much like a DLTDEPLF(*YES) on CHGPF or CASCADE on 
DROP TABLE, when such a function could be invoked prior to the RMVM. 
 I am not sure how dangerous it would be, if the intent is to 
enable removing the physical member, since that operation is 
disallowed until the logical [files and\or] members are already 
removed.  I have written such a tool [one-offs; but not by that 
name] a few times using DSPDBR TheLib/ThePF MBR(named) 
OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) output as input to RMVM requests.  That was not 
very good for VIEW or VIEW over VIEW however.
