RE: SAVLIB vs SAVOBJ

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

The authority issue was one that people seem to blow off on a library 
description.  And that was one of my points.  However he did say it was 
for archival purposes.

RE: SAVLIB vs SAVOBJ






Charles

Isn't that API fun?

Doing 2 saves is not too big a deal - it is more like multiple saves to 
tape - or even SAVLIB with multiple libraries specified - the result is 
separate tape files. Of course, with SAVLIB, the library description and 
its contents are saved together in one file, as you said.

I might be more inclined to retrieve the library attributes to a user 
space 
and save that - this way you could create one with the same attributes, 
including authority, etc.

Maybe?
