I was about to make fun of your reference to OVRSAVF as a "bug" but I
decided to look it up first and to my surprise, it does exist. I've never
seen this command before. I have used this exact program for many years and
I always do an OVRDBF for both the data file and the save file. What is the
difference between the two override commands?

It's a tough one - will probably take a few days to debug !    :-)

        Some time ago, a friend of mine at IBM told me how to save
objects from the
        /400 down to the PC.  This used the CPYTOSAVF and CPYFRMSAVF
commands from
        QUSRTOOL.  The process was to:

        1.      Save the objects to a save file.
        2.      Copy the save file to a physical file using CPYFRMSAVF.
        3.      Download the PF using PC Support.
        4.      Reverse the process at the other end.

        This has worked before, and I have even successfully distributed
software
        via email attachment.

        But...

        Since IBM doesn't give away QUSRTOOLS any more, some people
can't compile
        the utility.

        Does anyone know of another method to accomplish this task?
Diskettes are
        just soooooo much cheaper than 3490 and DLT tape cartridges...

        Thanks.
