FW: Sending AS/400 objects via PC, email, etc. -- MIDRANGE-L

> Well, apart from the fact that the help says the file isn't overridden
> immediately, but the information is stored until the file is used, I
> don't really know.  I hadn't even tried referencing the savefile with
> OVRDBF so I didn't know THAT worked !  Maybe it's really the same
> thing but a different command name to sort of self-document what
> you're doing ?
> Although OVRSAVF does nave the EXTEND parm, which OVRDBF doesn't, and
> POSITION is more limited on OVRSAVF than on OVRDBF.

>       Some time ago, a friend of mine at IBM told me how to save
> objects from the
>       /400 down to the PC.  This used the CPYTOSAVF and CPYFRMSAVF
> commands from
>       QUSRTOOL.  The process was to:
> 
>       1.      Save the objects to a save file.
>       2.      Copy the save file to a physical file using CPYFRMSAVF.
>       3.      Download the PF using PC Support.
>       4.      Reverse the process at the other end.

>       This has worked before, and I have even successfully distributed

>       Since IBM doesn't give away QUSRTOOLS any more, some people

>       Does anyone know of another method to accomplish this task?
> Diskettes are
