Re: Saving multiple source files to a single savf -- MIDRANGE-L

Should be no problem - you can specify up to 300 full or generic object names 
on SAVOBJ.

SAVOBJ (FILE1WOQ QFILE2WQ) etc.

or even

SAVOBJ (Q* F*) etc.

would get you all files that start with Q or with F. But you are better off 
using the full names from the DSPFD output. You just need to build up the 
SAVOBJ command string in a character variable, either in CL or RPG, and run it 
with QCMDEXC. I think someone already gave you some of the code for doing this. 
You loop through the outfile from DSPFD and keep adding the filenames you find 
that have the S for type and ba-da-bing!

Am I missing something?

Thanks folks but I still don't think I'll b/able to savobj multiple srcf's to 
a 
savf since the srcf's have different names. If I build a file containing just 
srcf's savobj won't allow me to save 1 file per savf, right? I'm figuring to 
move the srcf's to another lib and savlib.

This is good information - thanks. I have one proviso - I've never been 
comfortable with reading the QADBXREF directly.

Hi, 

I've not been following this thread closely, so don't know 
if anyone has given the following alternative: 

Use the QSYS/QADBXREF file. It contains xref information 
for all the files in the system, with attributes such as 
kind of file (PF, LF, etc.) and type (Source, data, etc.). 
A SQL statement would be: 
* ----------------- 
SELECT DBXFIL, DBXLIB, DBXTXT FROM QADBXREF 
WHERE SUBSTR(DBXLIB, 1,1) <> 'Q' 
AND DBXATR = 'PF' AND DBXTYP = 'S' 
* ----------------- 

The "Substr(DBXLib"... is for omitting the System 
libraries. 


Regards, 

Luis Rodriguez

Yeah, Al, that's why i suggested dspfd *basatr in another 
post - 
DSPOBJD has no information as to whether a file is source 
or data - 
only that it is a PF and maybe PF38 - several DSPFD type 
parameter 
settings have the single-letter column for source or data 
type in 
their outfile.

Alternatively, you could do DSPFD *MBRLIST, and that

gives you a one letter

attribution of if it's source or not.
