RE: Re[2]: Correlating *SAVF "records" to FTP job I/O count

Dan, what version of OS/400 are you running?  I forget.  There 
have been numerous enhancements to TCP/IP over the years.  All 
things being equal between the 400's, then TCP/IP should smoke 
SAVRSTOBJ.  By things being equal I mean does SNA and TCP/IP use 
the same line descriptions on both 400's?
I use SAVRSTOBJ for most of my distribution because I've not 
written/purchased/downloaded TCP/IP equivalent wrappers.

Well, re: #3, I _did_ specify AS/400-to-AS/400.  <g>

But, otherwise, it is my uneducated guess that whenever I can use FTP for
AS/400-to-AS/400 object transfers, I can also use the SAVRSTOBJ command.
Your #2 makes it sound like that is not the case.

You and I agree on using the "right tool for the job".  How would this
affect your #1?
