Re: save file (was) C version of ADDLC on very long variables

[Dave McKenzie <davemck@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't seen any cases where it's earlier, but I haven't been paying
attention.

I just tried SAVOBJ, SAVLIB & SAV on V5R1 and V5R3, and in all cases the
 timestamp in the first record was a few seconds later.

(I think the DSPSAVF timestamp comes from the record that contains the
CPU serial number.)

In the cases where it's earlier, is there any correlation with OS
release or SAV- command (or anything else)?

The only explanation I can think of would be if the two timestamps were
written by different LIC tasks whose relative timing was dependent on
system load.
