Re: Compiled Programs Under V5R4 - Work in V5R3?

Doesn't IBM still have some hot deals on DR boxes?  Wouldn't they be 
cheaper than maintenance on a 720?

If you keep the 720 you are stuck for all perpetuity on your 520 with 
TGTRLS(V5R3M0).  That's one major hassle.  Which also means that your 520 
can never upgrade two releases higher than V5R3 until you replace the DR 
box.

Summary:  The 720 is not a valid DR box.  Why?  Because it cannot run 
V5R4.  Why does this not make it a valid DR box?  Because, with V5R4 you 
can save spool files and data queue data.
SAVLIB ... SPLFDTA(*ALL) QDTA(*DTAQ).  These options are not allowed with 
TGTRLS(V5R3M0).  I suppose you could make a business decision to forgo 
this data as we have always done (or purchased third party software to do 
so) prior to V5R4.

Question:  Did you do a trade?  Meaning, if you are transferring the 
software licenses from the 720 to the 520 you cannot continue to run them 
on the 720.  Or did you buy all new software licenses?
