Kenneth,

Thanks for the reply. I know that the objects on the i5 keep that "last
saved" information. I am talking about the IFS objects. Files and
folders. Is that information stored in the header? What about tracking
over time. Was the save done on a timely and regular basis, according to
our policies? Can I prove that by looking at the header. I already have a
tracking system for the i5 objects (libraries, files, frograms, other) that
are save, and what tape they are on, I need the same thing for the IFS
objects put on tape with the SAV command. I am also using a home grown save
that I created, and have maintained for 15 years or more. I don't want, nor
see the need for a backup solution. It's not, or should not be that
complicated.

Thanks!

Jim

This information is stored in the object header:

Subject: Program to read SAV output to IFS or userspace

Greetings,

Before I re-invent the wheel, does anyone have a program that they can
and would be willing to share to read and display or print the contents
of a user space or IFS txt file that is the result of a SAV command? I
do a weekly SAV, and want to be able to show auditors that certain
objects were saved, when and what tape volume they are on. I did a
quick search of the archives, but found no reference. Output to a file
would be just as good.

If you would be willing to share, you can send to me personally, but I
believe it would be better to post the code on http://code.midrange.com/
and then post the link to the code you shared. That way it will be
available for more people.

Thanks!


Jim
