Tell me if you think this is a bug.

In V5R3 there is an attribute you can see and set on IFS objects that 
controls whether an object can be saved.  Use DSPATR on a file and you can 
see this.  By default, QNTC objects all have this attribute set and I 
imagine there are good reasons for it.  However, if you use the CPY 
command to copy the objects from a QNTC path into the IFS, then the object 
retains that setting and cannot be saved.  You can change the settting by 
running the CHGATR command, but I believe that just copying the object 
into the IFS should do this automatically and that this is a bug.

It seems like this would have the potential to really burn someone. 
Imagine someone copying a Domino database this way as an example and not 
knowing that the file is not being saved on their iSeries.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Mark
