You probably jumped in late, because you missed stuff. 1) I am not talking about the archive bit. This is a new V5R3-specific flag called *ALWSAV on the CHGATR command. 2) I am not the only one experiencing this, it came to me from my customers. 3) All QNTC objects have this value set to *NO automatically, and it is not possible to change it with CHGATR. If you try, you get CPFA0AD - Function not supported by file system. The issue is that this is essentially a "fake" attribute and when you copy/move an object from QNTC up to the IFS it brings the fake attribute with it (it is likely a real attribute in the IFS). If you were to create a new object in the IFS, the default would be *YES, I think that copying objects from QNTC to the IFS should do the same. Finally, as I said, if you were to create a new object in the IFS with this attribute set to *YES. Then move the object to QNTC, and then move it back to the IFS, the attribute changes to *NO. In my opinion, that is a good example of the general underlying problem.
