Re: Restoring objects on a French Machine

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

There are users who insist that if you 'put' the file back 
to the as/400 as myfile.savf it will create a usable save file.  
I've not found this to be the case.  I always have to CRTSAVF 
first and then put the file into the created save file, such 
as myfile.file.  Perhaps this is your problem.

I think that there also must be an error in the translation.  
I do not believe that the RSTLIB would fail because the file 
is NOT a physical file.  I believe it would fail because it was.

Subject:        Restoring objects on a French Machine



I zipped a save file, (saved at v4r2mo), and emailed it to a technically
advanced user, (at v4r3m0) in France.  The save file contains program and file
objects.
I sent step by step instructions on how to unzip the file and FTP it to the
AS/400 but the user is claiming the RSTLIB is failing with an error that the
file is not a physical file.  DSPSAVF command yields the same error.
I think the user did not follow my instructions.
However, to cover my bases let me ask, is it possible the library will not
restore because it came from a machine using the English language to a machine
using the  French language?  I wouldn't expect that to be a problem but I have
to ask.
Any other ideas on why this would fail?
I used the same instructions to load the objects from a v4r1m0 machine to a
v4r4m0 machine with no problem, both those machines are here in the USA.

Thanks in advance,

Tom Bishop
