ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Introduction ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Did you ever want to save the definition of program- and shadow objects of a
folder, so you can restore it whenever and wherever you want? Well, then
SAVEFLDR is for you. It creates a .CMD file which contains the necessary
commands to re-create the folders and all "Abstract" objects.
Please note that this package is IBM INTERNAL USE ONLY.
