RE: RE: Transfer libraries from one box to another

Rob:

AFAIK, SAVRSTxxx commands do not create a local savefile and then transfer the 
savefile. (I'm almost certain I read a mention of this within the past couple 
months or so.) Without implying that IBM did it in a good way, I'd probably try 
doing it with the QaneSava/QaneRsta save/restore APIs with a sockets 
connection. The save/restore exit programs would pass the blocks across the 
socket. Since I've never seen it done, maybe there's a reason that won't work 
-- still, it seems easy enough.

IIRC, the SAVRSTxxx commands _did_ create intermediate savefiles back in 
earlier releases. But I think that's changed somewhere along the line.
