Save a DBCS sort table onto tape or diskette

You can use the Save Object (SAVOBJ) command to save a DBCS sort table onto tape or diskette. Specify *IGCSRT for the object type.

The DBCS sort tables are saved when you use the SAVSYS command so you do not need to use the SAVOBJ command when performing normal server backup.
