RE: Trying to find a post

Vern,

That may be it.....last night, after resigning myself to fact that I am just
getting old and flaky, I went ahead and constructed as much as I could from
memory.  It is very similar to what you outlined here so it must be it....

I just wonder where I saw it.  Must have been one of the high caffeine
"visions" that happen after too much time in techland....

Thanks very much,

Pete

Sounds like something I do. Does this look familiar? It's the command for a
user-defined option in PDM. It applies to a library in WRKLIBPDM.

sbmjob cmd(qsh cmd('system "crtsavf qgpl/&n";
system "savlib &n *savf savf(qgpl/&n) clear(*all) dtacpr(*yes)";
cp /qsys.lib/qgpl.lib/&n.file /savfs/QGPL-&n.SAVF;
jar cvMf /savfs/QGPL-&n.SAVF.zip /savfs/QGPL-&n.SAVF;
rm /savfs/QGPL-&n.SAVF'))

This
- creates a SAVF in QGPL
- saves the library (substitution variable &n) to the SAVF
- copies the SAVF to IFS, giving it the name of the library where it came
from plus the name of the library
- compresses the copy to a ZIP file
- deletes the copy in IFS

The library and the SAVF are left. They could also be deleted.

The reason it works is you can put multiple commands in the CMD parameter,
separated by semi-colons. There are other separators, as well, but I don't
know all that they do. The QShell docs should cover this.

This one

SBMJOB CMD(QSH CMD('cp /qsys.lib/&l.lib/&n.&s /savfs/&l-&n.&a;
jar cvMf /savfs/&l-&n.&a.zip /savfs/&l-&n.&a;
rm /savfs/&l-&n.&a'))

- copies an existing SAVF to the IFS
- makes a ZIP of it
- deletes the IFS copy

It should be run against a SAVF in WRKOBJPDM.
