Creating, Distributing and Restoring IBM i Objects via Save Files

One of the object types I use the most with the IBM i operating system is the save file. 

Save file objects can be used to save and restore IBM i libraries using the SAVLIB/RSTLIB commands. 

You can also save and restore individual objects or groups of objects using the SAVOBJ/RSTOBJ commands. 

And for saving and restoring IFS files for archive or distribution you can use the SAV/RST commands.

The following GitHub page I created shows some PASE and CL commands that just might make your life a little easier when dealing with saving and restoring information using save file objects.
