Re: SAV & CPF38A5

Apparently someone else's .cache file has an attribute set:
CPD37C4
Message . . . . : 1 objects not saved.
Cause . . . . . : 1 objects were not saved due to the ALWSAV attribute set
to *NO. A CPD37C3 message was sent for each of those objects. 0 objects
were not saved because the system has indicated they should not be saved.

This works:
SAV DEV('/qsys.lib/rob.lib/rob.file') OBJ(('/home')) PATTERN(('.cache'))
It saved '/home/redacted/IBM/iAccessClient/JarCache/.cache'

But I can see why you'd hope that would work in a save even if it doesn't
work interactively.

Yeah, I'd go with that

wrklnk '/home/*/.cache'

Pattern not allowed in path name directory.
Error found on WRKLNK command.

I've never seen anything in IBM i with very sophisticated IFS pattern
matching...

I wouldn't expect an asterisk in the middle of a pattern to work.

But I can't find any documentation about what's allowed...
