SAVCHGOBJ saves objects changed since the specified reference date.  
The default reference date is the last SAVLIB date for the library  
containing the changed objects. Because no SAVLIB has been performed  
on a newly created library the reference date is (effectively) null  
and you'll get CPF3745 and the save will fail. Resolve it by  
specifying a reference date instead of the default.

You could also issue a SAVLIB of the library to a temporary save file  
immediately after creating it (i.e., while still empty). That would  
set the default reference date and then any new objects would be  
picked up.
