Note:The System i (i5/OS) Program action is available in the Install, Pre-Install, and Post-Install sequences.

The System i (i5/OS) Program action saves an i5/OS program (*PGM) object from the i5/OS build system and then restores and calls the program during the installation. The program is saved using the Save Object (SAVOBJ) command. At install time, the program is restored into the QTEMP library by the Restore Object (RSTOBJ) command, and then called by the CALL command.
