SAVRSTOBJ is mostly just like SAVOBJ and RSTOBJ on a single system.
How a restore works with LFs is the same as RSTOBJ. If you specify
only the PFs, that's all you get on the other side - unless you say
ACCPTH(*YES), right? You don't have to name the LFs in that case,
IIRC.

What is both desired and effected make all the difference with regard to use of the Access Path parameter.

If the attempt is to effect data restore only, overlaying existing data in any physical file member(s), then saving access paths is worthwhile; i.e. the logical files presumably already exist at the target for the restore. If restoring objects, then the logical files must be included [e.g. by name] in the save. Saved access paths will be restored\associated with either restored or existing logical file member(s) [that have the same AccPth level identifier], but merely requesting to save the access paths over the data does not effect the save [thus also not the restore] of the logical files\members [the objects] that defined each [LFM] access path.
