RE: Extra long SAVSECDTA

Bryan: That is a neat idea I had not thought of.

Another thought might be an ASP (iASP might be better but then the SETASPGRP gets in the way) and put the UDFS in there. Then if you can afford the disk units, you could compress those.

another option that may work.

CRTUDFS

create a UDFS
mount it
move your files to it
unmount it before the SAVSECTA
mount to use again.

the unmount may be unnecessary, i'm not sure about individual file
authorities. I've tested SAV/RST and you save the one UDFS object and
during the restore it "says" it restored x number of objects

so in super simple terms is behaves like a mounted ZIP file(without
compression, so more like a tar file)


more testing necessary.

I will bring up the idea about zipping all these files. That has merit.
