  • Subject: My Mem36 Fogged Up
  • From: MacWheel99@xxxxxxx
  • Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2001 10:41:44 EST

Perhaps someone can clear some cobwebs from my mind.
I did this a couple years ago but now I forget how.
S/36 software source to tape
400 command to retrieve it
preparation so it works right

Management has decided we will move our V4R3 to V4R5 & let M36 die, and all 
users of final application on M36 in agreement with its death, so I am to 
move towards that.

One thing, we have lots of old 36 programs ... occasionally some of them we 
decide to convert to 400 ... in all probability 90% will never be needed but 
I not know which 90%, so I now want to get 36 LIBR to tape & RSTS36 to 400.

Except I forgotten how exactly.

We have 400 library NS36CEN with Q36 files named similar to Old 36 programs 
that I converted a few years ago, so I know there is a process to do this, 
except I forgotten how & I cannot find my old notes.

I did a save libraries to tape from 36 from old backup software

I selected a small M36 library to try to walk through the process
DP.XPERT (obviously misnamed now because the expertise has drained from my 
mind) which went to tape via

// FROMLIBR ALL,LIBRARY,DP.XPERT,TC,4,SOFTWARE,DP.XPERT,,,LEAVE,SVATTR

Then I tried various RSTS36* options & each try found 855 members & omitted 
them all for various reasons then I retried altering parameters & history 
repeated.

I was trying to put it all into file QS36DPX which I did not create in 
advance, but kept getting CPF2C22

So could someond whose memory is not as fogged up as mine tell me

"Al, you have to use
SAVELIBR
FROMLIBR
whatever
on the 36
with parameters ......

and you have to in advance setup QS36DPX* variants for RPG36 & other types of 
members

then use RSTS36* whatever on 400
with parameters ....

Thanks in advance
