Evan
Thanks.
Yes now I
got it.I was able to copy the save file now.
What I was
doing is working with XML Interface for RPG.It is a XML wrapper in RPG for XML C++
parser (which uses SAX and DOM api’s).The objective is to parse xml, validate
it and put xml to db2 (which finally I was able to do just now although have no
idea what’s happening at the back and keep debugging ???JJ).It is equivalent to a
java version which came
www.as400.ibm.com/developer/java/xml/db_xml.html
The XML
wrapper can be downloaded as a savefile from
www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/xml4rpg
The
savefile when restored contains xml4prdoc which contains the full documentation
which was intented to be put on to the IFS and…
Thanks
again

Rizwan,
I'll take another stab at helping you, but I think you need to go back and do
some basic research on save and restore operations and the IFS.
First, the way I understand it, save files are basically a "native"
AS/400 object and therefore by default live in the QSYS.LIB file system. There
is no need to copy the save file to a stream file like you seem to be doing.
The steps you need to follow are:
Use the SAV command to save the directory that contains the stuff you want to
save. Specify the device parameter to point to a save file. It will be
something like DEV('/qsys.lib/rizwan.lib/xml4proc.file') But I suggest that you
create xml4proc (or whatever) as a sav file before doing the save, if you
haven't already.
To restore the objects use the RST command and again specify the DEV parameter
using the save file name as in the example above.
You don't actually need to do anything else to save and restore the objects, so
I don't know why you are copying the data into a stream file.
If your problem is to do with FTP'ing it from one system to another, then for
simplicity sake create the save file on the system you want to FTP it to and do
the FTP. Again you don't need to use the IFS you can FTP between the QSYS.LIB
file system quite well.
If you spell oput what you are trying to do, rather than what is giving you the
problem it might be easier to give you more relevent advice
Hope this helps

Could someone help me
please!.
I am trying to restore a save file
which has *STMF objects to IFS.I use CPYTOSTMF (Is there any other way?).
===> CPYTOSTMF FROMMBR('/qsys.lib/rizwanlib.lib/xml4prdoc.file')
TOSTMF('/xml4p
r310/doc/doc1') STMFOPT(*none)
CVTDTA(*NONE)
the savefile xml4prdoc contains many htmls and dir s but after copying it to
the IFS it results in a single unusable file doc1.
I expected doc1 to be the directory that could contain the htmls and dir s
after copying.
What I am missing?.Or how to do this?.All other parameters in cpytostmf are
ignored if I use a savefile.
Thanks for any help
Rizwan

I figured it out myself.I had to use cpytostmf.I
used this command numerous times but haven t noticed that savf (LL) could also be used to
copy to the IFS.

Hi
How can I restore *STMF type objects from a SaveFile?.It has to be
restored to the IFS from the Save File.I don't have any clue to how to use it
using RSTOBJ
Thanks for any help
