RE: Restoring licensed program from SAVSYS tape

Hi Rob

No I'm not thinking of that at all.

What I was trying to say (obviously very poorly) was that the nature of the
save would determine whether he could restore the licensed program or not
and how he would go about doing that. My point was that a full system save
does not do a SAVLICPGM for each program on the system, it just saves the
libraries and other objects as part of the save.

See my other post where I hopefully explained myself better.

Regards
Evan Harris

Methinks thou art thinking of things like S/36, S/38 and AS/400's. On the
i the LPP's often make extensive use of the IFS and other areas of the
system. And, when you do a RSTLICPGM many commands are duplicated from
the LPP library into one of the system libraries - STRPDM for example.

And, in V5R4 they often don't even duplicate the command into a system
library. Instead they create a "proxy" command. It's a special command
that is really only a pointer to the other command. If you do a CHGCMDDFT
on a proxy command in a system library, you end up changing the command in
the LPP library also. See the V5R4 Memo To Users and also CRTPRXCMD.
