RE: Specifying DEV on RST -- Help!

In the end, the names are a product of the file system you are working in.
If you're using the IFS, you must use that naming convention. If in QSYS
then you can use that naming convention.

I'm glad you have this figured out.
I think they changed the standards on the IFS saves so you can do it with
one parameter. For example ... DEV('/QSYS.LIB/TAP01.DEVD') or ...
DEV('/QSYS.LIB/MYLIB.LIB/MYSAVF.FILE')
versus saying *SAVF and then a separate parameter for the name of the savf.

I've adapted to it. My little peeve with it is that the device is the first
default parameter. For example if I type in SAV and then paste the
directory '/home/ROB/mydir/myfile.txt' and then hit
F4 it assumes that I've just entered in the device and not the directory.

I swear, whoever designed the SAV and RST commands ought to be indicted
on charges of cruelty to users, for failing to follow the
well-established, completely straightforward way devices are specified
on the SAVxxx and RSTxxx command series and DSPTAP command.

I've been able to cope with it. Until now.

I need to restore two individual IFS objects from sequence no. 209 of
volume A00017 (oh, and preferably rename them, to keep them from
colliding with the existing objects), on device TAPMLB01, and I can't
find the docs for how to specify volume and sequence number on RST!
