Purpose

The Save Object using BRM (SAVOBJBRM) command saves individual objects or a group of objects that are in the same library. The system saves the specified objects by writing a copy of each object on the volume, or in a save file. The objects are not affected in the system unless the command specifies that the storage should be freed.

 

Restrictions

• You must have authority to the SAVOBJ or SAVCHGOBJ commands to use this command.
  
• You must have *USE authority to any auxiliary storage pool device specified for the ASPDEV parameter.
  
• When saving to a save file, only one library can be specified.
  >
• No object being saved can be changed by a job that is running at the time the save operation occurs unless save-while-active is used.
  
• This command should not be used by control group *EXIT item processing as results will be unpredictable.
  

Note: Do not precede an entry with an asterisk unless that entry is a "special value" that is shown (on the display itself or in the help information) with an asterisk.
