Re: Reason not to go to V6R1

I'll probably be agreeing violently with Mark - saying the same thing, but different.

Compiling to V5-anything ensures that the creation information is there, which is needed for the conversion. I believe you can compile to and on earlier target releases (V4R5M0 on a V5R1M0 box, e.g.), so long as you leave creation information in the object. Other observable information can be removed, just not *CRTDTA.

All these answers are in that Redbook - required reading for us all.

Hi, James:

Side issue:

1. What's the minimum release level that produces *PGMs that, without
full observability, will convert to V6?

V5R1

2. Does it have to actually be compiled from source at that level?

Can be compiled on any release >= V5R1. e.g. could be compiled on V5R4
with TGTRLS(V5R2M0).

Or you can even compile on releases <= V5R1, but then just do NOT remove
observability.

HTH,

Mark
