RE: V4R4 Gotcha new Journal

Rich,

Maybe IBM should have a section of the read-me first that indicates all new
objects in the release so you can watch out for these things. HOWEVER, you
should NEVER, NEVER, did I say NEVER, name any of your objects with a 'Q' as
the initial letter, this is IBM's domain.

PS. Did I say NEVER? <GRIN>

Subject: V4R4 Gotcha new Journal


Did anyone experience the following:

When upgrading to V4R4 there is a new system object which is placed within
QSYS2 it is called QSQJRN, the problem here is that we had any application
code to a journal with the same name(QSQJRN) in V4R3 but in a library called
D101AA.
When we started the application it basically blew up in the certification
phase of the new Operating System because the application coded to this
journal and specified *LIBL and not D101AA. Look out for this it is not
stated in any of the V4R4 documentation as a new to the system and I feel
that IBM has taken away from one of there best feature and that is to be
able to code to *libl and not hardcode libraries.

Have Fun
