Examples:
Example 1: Tapes Cleared Automatically
SAVSYSINF DEV(TAP01) CLEAR(*ALL)
This command saves the system information on the tape put on the TAP01 tape drive. Each uncleared tape is automatically cleared when it is encountered, and the save operation continues without operator intervention.
Example 2: Save File Cleared Automatically and Output Generated to a File
SAVSYSINF DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(QGPL/SAVF) CLEAR(*ALL)
OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(QGPL/OUTPUT)
This command saves the system information to the save file named SAVF in library QGPL. The save file will be cleared automatically. Information about what was saved will be written to the first member of the file named OUTPUT in library QGPL; the file and member will be created if they do not exist.
