RE: Re: *autl to all files in IFS folder

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tom, not so much a quir, I think. This is similar to the behavior of 
GRTOBJAUT - that command can take a *ALL but does not affect the 
library. This is also something to remember when saving in the IFS - 
if you save a path like

/mypath

you get the objects in that folder (and subtree if you say to) AND 
the folder. This is like SAVLIB.

If you say

/mypath/*

you get only the objects in the folder, NOT the folder. This is like 
SAVOBJ. But this will bite you if you use the results of the latter 
and try to restore the folder - NO CAN DO.
