RE: How can I store an externally generated PDF in a file or outq

[qsrvbas@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Tom Liotta)]

Tim:

It's confusing when the dictate is that you can't store it in the IFS because 
it's _all_ in the IFS. Physical files, outqs, you name it; they're all in the 
IFS. (I suppose there are technical exceptions, but I'm pretty sure they 
wouldn't count as far as your corporate security issues go.)

So, if you can't store it in the IFS, you're violating corporate policy by 
receiving it in the first place.

Can you be more explicit about staying out of the IFS? I assume you mean that 
there are certain file systems that you aren't supposed to use; but which ones? 
Or maybe better, which file systems are allowed? /QSYS.LIB is probably one; is 
it the only one? Are there categories of objects that are not allowed outside 
of /QSYS.LIB?
