Marty: In my hypothetical situation, it is a compile-time error. The PTF instructions say it's a compiler problem and that the problem is fixed by recompiling the program(s) after the PTF is applied. The fix does not apply to run-time. I don't have a real problem yet; I'm hoping to avoid a future problem by being prepared. I agree with Rob's assessment, but it seems possible for IBM to argue otherwise. Thinking from a vendor viewpoint, that's a potential problem. It's also a potential problem for anyone with multiple iSeries where development is on V5R1/V5R2 and distribution is to V4R5, etc. I haven't needed to request such a fix before. The PTF I originally mentioned is the one that sparked my interest just by reviewing it. I don't have any way of knowing I need it; theoretically, it might never be needed as long as I compile to V5R1 (which isn't always possible for vendors -- some customers are way too big).
