I agree... Deleting the *SAVF would defeat the point of using
STG(*FREE) ... That is the point. You can do exactly that.
The point I was trying to make in my example though, is that if
a user with *SAVSYS authority saved a file to a SAVE FILE using
STG(*FREE) and then deleted the SAVE FILE, the object would
effectively be removed from the system, because the data portion
of the object is gone and it couldn't be restored because the
save file containing the data was also removed. Since the user
executing this SAV command creates the SAVE FILE they could
delete it without having *ALLOBJ authority because they own it.
For lack of CRTSAVF in the script, plus my glossing over versus
actually examining the parameter values, I incorrectly thought the
file being deleted was the one being saved; i.e. not the save file.
The outcome of the given scenario then, is little different than
CLRPFM of the members of the file, except the member objects remain
suspended from a STG(*FREE) request. The data restore need not be
from the request performed with STG(*FREE). In either case the data
from a prior DR save [vs extemporaneous save to a save file] can be
used to restore that data into the object, and then have the
journaled changes applied.
The expressed concern could probably be best addressed by
addition of a special value for *STGFREE, or better [and easier for
lesser impact to development] the addition of a "functional usage"
[e.g. QIBM_QSR_STGFREE]. That would probably be something worth
asking for in a DCR.
