Re: Restoring Objects When SavChgObj is Involved

Jerry Adams wrote:
The help for SAVCHGOBJ plainly states:

For database files, only the changed members are saved.

Ergo, if there are 2-n members in a file, but only one has been changed, only that one will be saved. However, since the full system save saves everything, at some point in the cycle it would appear that a multi-member file (call it FILEA) had a member changed and, thus, saved, but the other members were not. The RSTOBJ command says that it restores objects; there is a MBROPT but reading the help text made me dizzy.

Exactly. And that's where I think I'm headed and I don't understand why it's never been mentioned by anyone before - that I can remember. In a multi-member library situation, SavChgObj can cause unexpected problems if a RstObj is not done appropriately and in what seems to be a very manually intensive fashion.
