RE: Are you risking termination of software support if you install OV /400 over V5R1?

Al,

Uh...  You wrote "(User interface *FROMNOAHSARK)".  I'm an old fart, no
doubt... but you've REALLY dated yourself, here...

(I think they musta removed this keyword prior to CPF 2.0 or 3.0...;-)


:-) !

| I stand corrected.
|
| I changed QVFYOBJRST from 3 (the shipped value) to 1 (the don't
| do anything
| option), and I was able to do an "Install All" (Option 1 from GO LICPGM).
| I consider the fact that it loaded a bug.  Under GO LICPGM option 10, it
| does show up as *INSTALLED, which I find remarkable, but that could be a
| bug too!
|
| However when I did STROFC, I got a MCH3601.  I give up!
|
| My best guess is if you want to use this function, you will need to do
| business with the people that bought it from IBM.  Alternatively you could
| try Lotus Notes?Domino (*VERYEXPENSIVE and will not provide all of the
| function that OV provided, although realistically it does have a
| significantly greater capability that OV).  We did migrate some HELP key
| applications and some mail-merge applications to TextManagement/38, which
| you may already own and which has infinitely lower support cost.  (User
| interface *FROMNOAHSARK)
|
| In fairness to the Notes/Domino folks, we use it extensively, but for mail
| (significantly better than OV), calendaring (about the same as OV) and
| document databases (OV isn't in that universe).
|
| Now I'm going to go back and change QVFYOBJRST to 3 as God intended it to
| be.
