RE: Statement of readiness for V6R1

Is there any way looking at program objects (RPGLE, CL, CLLE, etc) to know
if they are "ready" even if compiled on V4R5? Sorry if this has been
discussed before, I did a search and couldn't find much. (Search engine
just isn't as good as google's. )

I appreciate your commitment to customer service by considering their
restore/conversion times.

I think there are alternative ways of discovering this. Basically by a
DSPOBJD to an output file and a little UDF that calls the program APIs to
determine if the program is acceptable. Hmm, might have even
been used in
determining if ANZOBJCVN had "anomalies" that had to be worked out...

And I think ANZOBJCVN will be getting some other ptfs very shortly. I,
for one, don't like the fact that the first page has all sorts of
summaries on time estimates, etc but not one line about how many programs
won't convert. Currently you have to delve into the detail, or run a
suggested SQL statement.

RE: Statement of readiness for V6R1






Hi Rob,

We intend to do this as soon as we can. ANZOBJCVN is not available for
us yet (we run Lang #2939), but we've been compiling for target release
V5R2 (current version) or V5R3 (next version).

Something we will have to keep thinking about is releasing our software
- since we target primarily small business customers, we can't count on
16 cpus being available to do conversions. This might mean that we need
to buy a machine running V6R1 just to create media which don't take
hours to restore.

I don't think this is a bad move by IBM, but it doesn't make things
easier.

(In case you or anyone else is wondering: the software I'm talking about
is http://www.dias-is.com/)

Any vendors issuing "Statements of readiness for V6R1" yet? Granted, I
would be happy with a caveat that basically says something to the effect

of "... this statement should only be construed to mean that all of our
currently supported versions, with the appropriate service packs (and
these are...), have been determined to comply with ANZOBJCVN as per
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp4293.html . This statement
should not be construed to mean that there may not be other issues with
V6R1 that may need IBM's attention on ptf's, or some tweaking on our
part
to comply with new features or requirements."
