Here are 2 source members you can use to replace the utility

that Jim Sloan created. Move these members to a source file (e.g.
QGPL/QTXTSRC).
Copy SAVF to PF (SAVF2PF)_____________________________________________

First, you create the save file QTEMP/SAVF and save all your objects (or save li
brary)
using the device *SAVF - QTEMP/SAVF.
Then you would create the physical file using the command:

CRTPF QTEMP/F528 RCDLEN(528) SIZE(*NOMAX)

To copy from save file to the physical file, you execute the command:
STRREXPRC SRCMBR(SAVF2PF) SRCFILE(QGPL/QTXTSRC)
To restore the physical file back to the save file, all you do is use the other
member:
STRREXPRC SRCMBR(PF2SAVF) SRCFILE(QGPL/QTXTSRC)
