RE: SAVF info to Physical

[qsrvbas@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Tom Liotta)]

Bryan:

Here's a kind of psuedo-code CL program that gets the process started:

PGM

CRTUSRSPC USRSPC( QTEMP/MYUSRSPC ) INLSIZE( 1000000 )

CALL  QSRLSAVF  ( +
                  'MYUSRSPC  QTEMP' +
                  SAVF0200 +
                  'MYSAVF    MYLIB' +
                  *ALL +
                  *ALL +
                  '                                     ' +
                  X'0000000000000000' +
                )

DMPOBJ  QTEMP/MYUSRSPC  *USRSPC

ENDPGM

The CRTUSRSPC command is a wrapper for the QUSCRTUS (Create user space) API. 
That can be ignored for now. The main point is the CALL to QSRLSAVF which lists 
the savf into the user space. From there, the elements of the list could be 
read and put into a file or whatever you wanted. The DMPOBJ merely dumps the 
space for viewing and is otherwise extraneous.

In some ways, it's as easy as that. If this had some kind of file output in 
place of the DMPOBJ, is there any reason it wouldn't be essentially sufficient? 
(Obviously, lack of error-checking, variables for savf name and libraries, 
etc., notwithstanding.)
