storage and back

Does the empty savf exist in the qsys.lib file system location that you are sending it back to or is the FTP process creating it when you send it back?
If the savf does not exist then you will get an unreadable file in the qsys.lib file system.
You will need to use a (replace on the FTP put or get command when you send it back to the qsys.lib files system.

Hi Vern,

I have retraced my steps and this is what I see specifically.

I> have created a new save file.

If I use wrklnk '/qsys.lib/,,,,/savefile.file' option 8=Display
attributes shows ccsid of 37

I then used ftp in binary mode to put that save file to the IFS.

The file in the IFS shows ccsid 819

The IFS file is then sent to outside storage.

If it does

We reverse the steps

Retrieve the file from outside storage to the IFS

The empty savf needs to exist in the target location before the next step.

Used ftp in binary mode to transfer the file from IFS to qsys.lib file system

dspsavf savefile fails.

I am just rerunning this test to make sure as we have made a couple of changes.

Thanks

Don
