Re: Compressing a savf file

You can also use an RPG program to read a PF and write to a SAVF.

We have a set of programs that pass a SAVF from one system to another
over a comm link-- it reads the PF, sends it, receives it, and writes
to the SAVF at the receiving end.

We wrote the program because the only other possibility at the time
was SNADS, which is a LOT slower (yes, I know it makes sure the file
gets there, but it's slower).  Our programs have been reliable, and,
as comm links get more sophisticated and more reliable, even more so!
