Re: How do I SAV directories and subdirectories in QNTC?

[Dr Syd Nicholson <sydnic@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Saving the contents of QNTC is not an available option in OS/400.

As far as I am aware there are two options:

1. Copy the files to a directory on the AS/400 and then use the SAV
command. This is OK if you can afford the extra time for the copy and
have the spare disk space.

2. If you have the iSeries DVD writer you can set it up as a shared
directory in Netserver. You then copy files directly from your PC to
iSeries DVD. Maximum capacity 4.78GB.
