I'm dense - what's a 'slip-install'?

In this particular case the three *PGM objects named exist in the  
System Entry Point Table. As far as I know a simple restore will only  
bring the objects back. It will not reset the entries in the SEPT. As  
a result I would expect the damaged object message to become a "tried  
to reference a destroyed object" message. I also think RCLSTG doesn't  
'fix' bad SEPT entries either.

SST can be used to update the SEPT but I suspect IBM support has a  
better way. Otherwise I think the only reliable recovery is a slip- 
install of the OS.
