Re: BRMS Control Group ?

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

On the first blank line of the control group simply put a sequence 
number in.  So if you wish to insert between the *SAVCFG and the QGPL 
save, use sequence number 35.  BRMS will renumber everything to even 
numbers once the insert is complete.
