IBM has changed the way that the objects in /qfpnwsstg/ are

from IBM i 7.2 with intent to restore to IBM i 7.1.
Attempt to restore on 7.1 without specifying TGTRLS(*PRV) on the
save understandably fail CPF3743, my bad.
Attempting to save with TGTRLS(*PRV) on i 7.2 also fails
CPD376D RC 0. "No can do boss."
Not sure there is a workaround here but FYI......
In the following TechNote (FAQ) document, although there are a number
of grammatical and spelling errors, poor wording, as well as mismatched
textual explanation for at least one of the invocation examples, what I
read seems to be an attempt to imply that the IBM i 7.2 format for those
objects is incompatible with *all* /previous releases/. The two
examples given, shown explicitly specifying V6R1M0 and V7R1M0 [into
which the special-value *PRV resolves], imply that the symptom is
accurate for all /previous/ releases supported on the Target Release
(TGRRLS) parameter of the Save Object (SAV) command, when performed on
IBM i 7.2; i.e. only TGTRLS(*CURRENT) is going to allow the save:

Saving a Server Storage Space to a Previous Release Fails with Message
CPD376D
Reference #: N1020563
"...
_Cause_
IBM i 6.1 and 7.2 NWSSTG (Network Storage Space) are not compatible with
the previous previous [sic] release, so save to previous release is not
allowed for the nwsstg at these releases.
_Answer_
When you save a Network Storage Space and specify a previous release on
the TGTRLS parameter on the SAV command, it will fail on IBM i 6.1 & IBM
i 7.2 with message CPD376D, while it will work on IBM i 7.1 when the
prevvious [sic] release is IBM i 6.1 [¿sic?] will also fail [¿sic?] when
the TGTRLS V5R4M0 is specified.
Save to previous release is a release-by-release behavior. The ability
to save a network storage space to a previous release is dependent upon
whether the network storage space format is compatible with the previous
release. Because IBM i 6.1 and 7.1 are compatible, the operating system
will allow the IBM i 7.1 storage to be saved to a target release of IBM
i 6.1. ...

See the examples and outcomes below:

Example (SAVF being used in this example) on IBM i 7.2 with TGTRLS V7R1M0:
SAV DEV('/qsys.lib/qtemp.lib/savf.file')
OBJ(('/qfpnwsstg/NWSSTG'))
TGTRLS(V7R1M0)
Will result in the messages:
Not able to save /qfpnwsstg/NWSSTG. -->> CPD376D RC0 - Objects of type
*DIR cannot be saved for
the release specified on the TGTRLS
parameter.
No objects saved or restored. -->> CPF3823 - No objects saved or restored.
