To copy binary data that is in save-file format from the noted\named STMF [loaded in /QOPT] into the existing Device File of attribute SAVF of the name Y2SYCBL in library TEMP2E [in /QSYS.LIB], the proper To Member (TOMBR) specification had always been [and presumably is still]:

TOMBR('/QSYS.LIB/TEMP2E.LIB/Y2SYCBL.FILE')

In an old release [v5r3], the error msg CPFA0AE "An error occurred while trying to resolve object name." was the expected effect, rather than the error msg CPDA082 "Object is not a file or is a file with attributes not supported by this command." The CPDA082 seems to imply an existing object as identified by the specification in the TOMBR() parameter already exists but is incompatible.?

The name specification using the extension\suffix of SAVF is AFaIK only supported in the FTP; i.e. the FTP utility has enhanced support for an extension specification, to allow something other than the object-type, specifically\minimally for the SAVF variant of the *FILE object. If the Copy From Stream File (CPYFRMSTMF) since had been enhanced [in releases newer than effect seen described above], to support that same naming variation supported by FTP, then perhaps the issue that was encountered is that a *FILE of the name Y2SYCBL exists in TEMP2E, but the file object is not a device file with the attribute SAVF.?
