  • One Save File from More than One Library

    March 26, 2008 Hey, Ted

    I would like to place objects from several libraries in a save file. When I run a Save Library (SAVLIB) or Save Object (SAVOBJ) command that specifies more than one library, I receive message CPF3789: Only one library allowed with specified parameters. I really don’t want a bunch of save files. Is there another way?

    –Jackie

    A save file can contain other save files, so here’s a method you can try. To keep it simple, let’s say you want to save the contents of two libraries–MYLIB1 and MYLIB2–to one save file–SOMELIB/SOMESAVF.

    1. Create a save file for each library.

    CRTSAVF FILE(SOMELIB/MYLIB1)
    CRTSAVF FILE(SOMELIB/MYLIB2)
    

    2. Use the appropriate SAVxxx command to load the save files.

    SAVLIB LIB(MYLIB1) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(SOMELIB/MYLIB1)
    SAVLIB LIB(MYLIB2) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(SOMELIB/MYLIB2)
    

    3. Save the save files to the single save file.

    SAVOBJ OBJ(MYLIB*) LIB(SOMELIB) DEV(*SAVF) +
              SAVF(SOMELIB/SOMESAVF)
    

    Let’s say you want to restore program object DOIT to some system. Here’s what you’d have to do.

    1. Create the individual save file if necessary.

    CRTSAVF FILE(SOMELIB/MYLIB1)
    

    2. Restore the objects from the single save file to the individual save file.

    RSTOBJ OBJ(*ALL) SAVLIB(SOMELIB) DEV(*SAVF) +
              SAVF(SOMELIB/SOMESAVF)
    

    3. Use the appropriate restore command to restore objects from the individual save file.

    RSTOBJ OBJ(DOITC) SAVLIB(MYLIB1) DEV(*SAVF) OBJTYPE(*PGM)
              SAVF(SOMELIB/MYLIB1) RSTLIB(QTEMP)
