  SAVCHGOBJ for multiple library objects and\or LIB(*ALLUSER)?  I 
do not think any status messages occur for library-at-a-time 
save-changed requests.?

  The program could effect the same as SNDPGMMSG TOMSGQ(*TOPGMQ) 
TOPMGQ(*EXT) MSGTYPE(*STATUS), sending a message naming the library 
being saved, issued prior to each SAVLIB; the Send Program Message 
(QMHSNDPM) API
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v7r1m0/topic/apis/QMHSNDPM.htm

  Or if SAVLIB LIB(n1 n2 ... nn) [i.e. a request to save multiple 
library names] automatically effects such status messaging, then the 
command string could be built from multiple rows [up to 300 as of 
v5r3] versus one SAVLIB per row.
