RE: restore *STMF type objects from a SAVF to IFS

Phil

Using the second one (rst dev) was right for restoring.

I think cpytostmf simply copies the savefile to IFS.

cpy means simply copy,rst means restore - Eh!(enlightened!!).But after copying the savefile using cpytostmf to IFS I checked the object type in wrklnk  I think it was *stmf (instead of AS/400 (save)file).

> RST DEV('/qsys.lib/qtemp.lib/phil.file') OBJ(('test.html'))
and the data was correct.

BTW I think it has to be OBJ(('/test.html')).Am I wrong?

Rizwan,

I didn't know you could use the cpytostmf cmd either.  I tried it, and the
data is corrupt.  Do you need to specify something special on the command?
I use the RST command.

To set up my test, I did this:
SAV DEV('/qsys.lib/qtemp.lib/phil.file') OBJ(('/test.html'))

Then I did this:
 > CPYTOSTMF FROMMBR('/qsys.lib/qtemp.lib/phil.file') TOSTMF    'test.html')
and the data was screwy.  Do I need to do something different here?

Then I did this (which is how I normally do it):

 > RST DEV('/qsys.lib/qtemp.lib/phil.file') OBJ(('test.html'))
and the data was correct.

Phil

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.
