Luis,

Thank you for another process to consider. Hopefully it will lead me to
the best possible solution for our situation.

Roger,

Besides monitoring CPFs in your SAVE CLs, you could output to *OUTFILE
in your SAVXXX cmd and query the file at your leisure. There is a field
called SROSTA that gives you the status (0-Not saved, 1-saved) of the
processed objects, as well as the MSG (SROMSG) code.

Regards,

Luis Rodriguez
