Carl,
  As a test of David's archives, I went to http://www.midrange.com and 
visited the Midrange-L archives.  In the search field, I tried "save file" 
and got some hits on going from RISC to CISC with FTP and save files.  They 
aren't completely what you want.  I tried "ftp save" and got exactly what 
you're after:  The first hit was a question about why the SAVF got turned 
into a PF on the target system, and the second hit was one answer - create 
the SAVF on the target first.

Source system - Create your objects so they match the release level of the 
target system.  If you don't, you *may* not be able to restore them.
Source system - CRTSAVF lll/fff TGTRLS(VxRyMz)  Match the target system. If 
you don't, the target won't be able to read the format of the SAVF.  Note 
that this has nothing to do with the release level of the objects inside 
the SAVF.  No magical conversion occurs to the objects just because they 
are placed inside a prior release compatible SAVF.
Target system - CRTSAVF lll/fff
Source system - ftp target, binary, put lll/fff.mbr lll/fff.mbr, quit
Target system - RSTOBJ

hth!

ps - Kudos to David!  The search engine really works for a real-world 
query!  If only I could say the same thing about *my* work!!!! :-)
