Unless /corrected/ the STROBJCVN still does effectively OPNDBF against every member of a file for the named library [list]. Quite pointless for most systems and even quite irritating for its effect of updating the /last used/ information.

There is unlikely any reason to /convert/ any [part of any database] *FILE objects [esp. when coming from v5r4]. Note that all *FILE objects on the system will be faulted irrespective that large numbers of file objects [device files like PRTF and DSPF] are not _database_ *FILE objects yet they are *FILE objects. What database conversions are required of late, will be best effected by DSPLIB for every library and no /last use/ information updated by that action; assumption being, that STROBJCVN in v6r1 still uses [an effective] OPNDBF to force its database file.member conversions... and _that_ type of conversion is *very* unlikely to be required on any system since v5r1 I think -- but I think it will also effect the same conversions to the database *FILE [composite pieces] as will the DSPLIB.

What does the conversion process do on files? If I fail to run STROBJCVN against the files will that slow down the open of them?
