Re: Specifying DEV on RST -- Help!

The following works to make things more “normal".

from QSH make a symbolic link to your tape device.

ln -s /tap01 /qsys.lib/tap01.devd

then your IFS save looks like …

SAV DEV('/tap01’) …..

or

crtsavf QGPL/SAVEFILE

from QSH make a symbolic link to your save file

ln -s /savefile /QSYS.lib/QGPL.lib/SAVEFILE.file

SAV DEV(‘/savefile’) …..

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!
