Use integrated file system APIs in the independent ASP QSYS.LIB file system

Many integrated file system APIs are valid in the independent ASP QSYS.LIB file system

The APIs listed in Perform operations using APIs can operate on the independent ASP QSYS.LIB file system, except for the following situations:

  • File operations can be done only on program-described physical files and source physical files.
  • The symlink() function can be used only to link to an object in independent ASP QSYS.LIB from another file system that supports symbolic links.
  • The QjoStartJournal() and QjoEndJournal() APIs cannot be used on database physical files.
  • Start of changeIf you use QsrSave() or QsrRestore() APIs to save or restore library objects on an independent ASP, this independent ASP must be associated with the job doing the save or restore operation, or the independent ASP must be specified on the ASPDEV key. The naming convention of path name (/asp_name/QSYS.LIB/object.type) is not supported on QsrSave() and QsrRestore() APIs.End of change
