Al--

If you're on v5r4, you can now save the -contents- of an output queue! 
This will let you use SAVOBJ and write the output queues concerned to 
tape!  Chances are, they never really -look- at the reports from over a 
year ago, so maybe you can sneak them onto tape while no one's looking!

Paul,

This is very important information for me. As noted, we are gearing up for a 
migration from VSE to iSeries. One process we must be able to duplicate is a 
weekly backup to tape from the spooler of reports. I am still new to iSeries 
so I wasn't aware of what (if any) limitations there were to this.We are 
currently on v5r3m5 but this is incentive enough to begin preparation to 
upgrade to v5r4.

Would you mind posting an example of a SAVOBJ command for backup up reports 
from specific outqueues to tape? Thanks for your response.
