RE: Is there an easy way to identify all the save files on a system?

Yeah Rob, isn't it cool!

I love how the database is object oriented and the output of one aspect of the database can be used as the input to another and it just works. (Most of the time. I get a lot of pmr's too.)

I'm not sure why IBM chose to make the object_statistics function limited to it's usage, but I suspect that it may have been a size issue.

Thank you!
Took me a second but I couldn't get *ALL to work for all files. Then I
saw the beauty of your cross join.
*ALL *LIB Returns a list of libraries
*ALL *FILE returns nothing. Weird. Why is that?

Object_Statistics service function has been available for a while on 6.1
and 7.1

Select
B.*
From
Table(QSYS2.OBJECT_STATISTICS('*ALL','*LIB')) AS A
Cross Join
Table(QSYS2.OBJECT_STATISTICS(A.OBJNAME,'*FILE')) AS B
Where
B.OBJAT00001 = 'SAVF'
