Use of integrated file system commands and displays in the independent ASP QSYS.LIB file system

Nearly all the commands listed in Accessing using CL commands can operate on the independent ASP QSYS.LIB file system. But there are a few exceptions:

• The Add Link (ADDLNK) command can be used only to create a symbolic link to an object in independent ASP QSYS.LIB.
• File operations can be done only on program-described physical files and source physical files.
• The Start Journal (STRJRN) and End Journal (ENDJRN) commands cannot be used on database physical files or libraries.
• You cannot move libraries in the independent ASP QSYS.LIB file system to basic auxiliary storage pools (ASPs) using the Move Object (MOV) command. However, you can move libraries in independent ASP QSYS.LIB to the system ASP or other independent ASPs.
• If you use Save Object (SAV) or Restore Object (RST) to save or restore library objects on an independent ASP, then that independent ASP must be associated with the job doing the SAV or RST operation, or the independent ASP must be specified on the ASPDEV parameter. The path name naming convention of /asp_name/QSYS.LIB/object.type is not supported on SAV and RST.
• These commands are not supported:
  • Check In Object (CHKIN)
  • Check Out Object (CHKOUT)
  • Reclaim Object Links (RCLLNK)

The same restrictions apply to the user displays described in Accessing using menus and displays.
