RE: List of objects not saved with SWA while locked.

Rob,

I'm not aware of a list such as that because of IBM's favorite answer: "It
depends......" and in this case it truly does.

You picked on two of the biggest object types in your note, but data areas
would qualify as well on that list. Many folks love to read the data area
into RPG with a lock, update it and release. If the save catches it during
the lock, it will not back up the data area object.

UDFS falls into the "maybe" category. Again depends on the status at the
time.

There are a number of other objects in the IFS that will not back up when
open as well. That list is entirely depended on the system and what's
running.

Then again, you already know all of that.

Subject: List of objects not saved with SWA while locked.

Is there a list of objects which are normally skipped by Save While Active
if they are still locked? *USRIDX and *USRQ objects seem to be an issue.
Is there some IBM documentation somewhere on this?
