Re: Running S/36 objects with V5R3... -- MIDRANGE-L

Like Jim says, as long as you're talking QS36F, there have been noissues. It's a library like any other. I port save files of QS36F fromour production to backup system twice daily and restore those suckerswithout a hitch. Previous to that I converted a 720 (v5R1) to ourcurrent 520 (v5r3) simply by saving and restoring the user libraries.Why, out of curiosity, would your associate think there would be aproblem? Does s/he have something specific in mind that maybe bit 'embefore?

I think even earlier than V5R3. Do note that w.V5R3 IBM no longer ships the
base OS Migration software to convert true S36 or M36 code & files to the
S36EE - AND I WISH THEY WOULD PUT IT BACK!!! - eventually the stragglers
were converting and buying i5's (I know because every year I would do some).
I would
imagine that code took zero maintenace between releases...

Subject: Running S/36 objects with V5R3...

Hi all,

A former business associate has asked me about issues restoring and using
S/36 files and objects with V5R3 (Currently they are using V5R2). Besides
the obvious answer (convert to OS/400!! :- ) ), Does anybody know of any
problems reported in this area?

Thanks for your help,
