Enhance or create a new DB2 Service IFS Save Files

Need the ability to see the details of a save file that contains IFS objects so that we can programmatically act on what is inside the save file.  

For example: 
CRTSAVF FILE(yourlib/yoursavf)
SAV DEV('/qsys.lib/yourlib.lib/yoursavf.file') OBJ(('/home/username/*.*'))

Need the ability to see the folder structure and file names inside that save file and possibly even recursively go through any subfolders.

    CAAC members included this Idea in a recent voting session. None of the CAAC members voted that it was High value, so it was not discussed at the CAAC meeting. Most indicated it was medium value to the SMB community, meaning it is one of the more valuable usability enhancements if it can fit into IBM's workload.

    Comments from CAAC Voting Spreadsheet:

    Marina: the current service https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/qsys2savefileobjects only shows information about objects and spool files. The need for IFS support would be good.

    IBM will use this Idea as input to planning, but no commitment is made or implied. This Idea will be updated in the future if IBM implements it.
