RE: restoring data file and program

["Fisher, Don" <dfisher@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That depends on why you're restoring the files saved from your production
system.  If the purpose is to have a place to hold those files for future
research or possible recovery, then there's no problem.

If you want to use those files for parallel testing or user acceptance
testing, you'll need the version of the programs that correspond to the
files you saved or your testing may have unpredictable results.

We have three AS/400 boxes, one is our test box where we do our developing
and testing.  The other is our Production box where we promote our approved
program and data.  Recently we add a third box, which is our Production box,
that is a picture of our Production at
Month end.  

What will happen if we backup our PRODUCTION box on the last day of the
month and Restored our physical files libraries, but not our program
file libraries?  We're modifying and add new program daily.
