RE: B145-4605 during upgrade from V4R5 to V5R3

Don't worry. They stopped me.

Apparently you have to load a PTF which puts a software agreement on the
system before you can upgrade. They only have PTFs for V5R1 and V5R2.

  Suppose you were a software vendor, and you had some physical files.
  And
  you converted them automatically when they upgraded from your version
  1.5
  to 1.6 it converts a physical file via a simple program that assumes
  several things like the format matches 1.5. Now assume back in 1.4
  that
  same file's fields were named different in 1.5. Heck and some of the
  fields that used to be numeric are now alphanumeric.

  How well would you think the program would handle that?

  I guess I would be grateful if IBM stopped it before upgrading LIC by
  throwing a SRC versus upgrading my LIC and then finding out it
  couldn't
  upgrade SS1 because of conversion issues.

  Thanks.

  I'm trying it on a test machine to see if it will even work. I have
  several systems to upgrade so I am hoping it will work even if it is
  not
  a supported path.

  That's not a supported upgrade path, IIRC.

  You need to upgrade to V5R2 first (or V5R1), and then to V5R3.

  However, the SRC indicates another problem:

  B1XX-4605 stands for problems with the load source. Either your CD is
  bad (more likely) or your drive is broken.
