Your comment made me look up details and I see that V4R5 SAVOBJ/RSTOBJ now 
allow the object type *SVRSTG -- a vast improvement since the IPCS manuals were 
printed. Much better than pre-V4R5. Thanks for that tip.

(? SAVSTG ?)

I'm not clear on your final two statements. Can you clarify any of this? Is 
this simply an indication that completely restoring from SAVSTG is easier than 
restoring all objects from a full system save?
