My objection to using SAVF's is, it becomes a management nightmare
with 30 or 60 days of files. Part of my process is to clean up older
members which I could not do with SAVF's but...
The advantage of the members has been that I use WRKMBRPDM file_name
and I see all the members. I can then use the option codes defined in
F16 to give me commands to manage the members. Example: RR - RUNQRY *N
file_name member_Name RCDSLT(*YES). Other commands I have are to
resend the member when its not received or a resend is requested.
Quite frankly, WRKMBRPDM was a great tool that does not have a replacement.

No lecture from me; this is a hard transition when the code base
expects multiple members. Do you already have an inquiry program that
knows how to switch members? When possible here, I've really, really
advocated to re-do that architecture to put the year (or whatever
each member is intended to segregate) into the archive table. So instead of (simplified):
ID
NAME
ADDRESS
SALES
I have:
YEAR
ID
NAME
ADDRESS
SALES
Extracting one 'member' of data is as easy as WHERE YEAR = :year;
comparing two arbitrary years is just as easy. Quite to do ugly with
multiple members.
To answer your actual question, search the web for RTVDDSSRC. Michael
Sansoterra posted a utility many years ago that will probably do what
you need: create DDS from DSPFD / DSPFFD.
