Re: Save date of user profile Was: QSYSOPR user profile and GO SAVE 21

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob, I will not disagree that a customer written program is not subject 
to constant review and update as PTFs and/or upgrades are done.  However 
a customer written back up is superior to the save options being 
discussed since IBM has not, nor will not update/enhance them.  
Critically if the customer does not completely understand what is being 
backed up and when, a recovery becomes at best problematic if not 
impossible due to missing objects.
