damaged goodsIBM is delivering a Damaged Object Detection (DOD) tool via PTF for IBM i 6.1 and 7.1.

iProDeveloper has a nice write-up on automated damaged object detection in IBM i 7.1 only, if you want to read more on how to apply and download.

If anyone has instructions for running in IBM i 6.1, please forward to me or notate your ideas in the comments section of this article.
