The output from the SAV command is not a physical file, so there is no format in that sense - I don't know if that is what you mean.

I googled some stuff and found this link at InfoCenter - http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v7r1m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Frzaiu%2Frzaiurzaiu004.htm

That has all the layout specs for the data in either the stream file or the user space (a user space can be thought of as a stream file located in the library/object file system)

So you need some program that will walk through the pointers and offsets as defined, to see what is the data. You CAN, of course, use DSPF against either the stream file or the user space (use path naming), then look at the data in hex and have the documentation close at hand.

There might be a member in QSYSINC/H - I took a quick look and found nothing obvious, but someone may know otherwise. So you may have to construct the data structures yourself from the documentation I cited.

Of course, one way to see it is to use the *PRINT output - you can find what system program produced it and see if it is an official API.

Good luck

I am able to save objects to a tape with the outputs as described in the
help for the SAV command. It is not readable except by program but I
don't know the format. Does anyone know where I can find the layout for
the format of the output from the SAV command? I have looked at the
documentation on IBM but I am not able to find any link to the format.
HELP!
