If you are on release V5R4 or higher:
Create an outqueue, move the spoolfile(s) into the outqueue and save the outqueue with SAVOBJ.

sound like v5r3 doesn't support to save outq into the *savf/tape?
is it true?
(I don't have V5R3 box to test)

This was a V5R4 enhancement

B.Hauser.. Is it true we can save the Spool file only using SAVOBJ??

You can save the outqueue containing the spoolfile with SAVOBJ

Thanks guy's. I managed to do this by sending the spooled file to an outq and then using a SAVOBJ to save the outq to a *savf and then FTP the *savf to my desktop and then onto the other 400 and then restore the *savf.

Thanks for your suggestions.
