Sorry - we gave you the wrong DSP command - use DSPFD FILE(VERN/*ALL) TYPE(*BASATR) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) FILEATR(*PF) OUTFILE(VERN/FDBASATR) Then ATDTAT has a D for data, S for source. This will let you find all the source types. Again, sorry to lead you down the wrong path!! Vern -------------- Original message -------------- From: fbocch2595@xxxxxxx
I won't b/able to dspobjd to a file and then savobj all the entries though since some are not prefixed by Q. Thanks for your help -----Original Message----- From: rob@xxxxxxxxx To: midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Fri, 17 Nov 2006 4:00 PM Subject: Re: Saving multiple source files to a single savf I did mention doing the DSPOBJD to an output file, reading that, searching for ODOBAT = the designator for source physical file. Then construct your SAVOBJ command from that. However, it would be a disservice of me to not suggest a different alternative. The problem with using IBM output files is that they can, and do, often change with new releases of OS. Often I will use the Object APIs instead. After all, who wants a "record format level check" when you're already wrestling with other surprises resulting from an OS upgrade? Granted, one way to get around most record format level checks is to eschew the use of any F spec in RPG to open that file and to use imbedded SQL instead. Being careful NOT to use "select all from ...". Because selecting all from a file that has been updated to hold Y number of fields into an externally defined data structure that only had X fields at the last compile is a fatal error. Once upon a time, several versions back, it wasn't. You just hoped that they kept new fields at the end.
