Your IT operations staff is on crack...

Developers should have been made aware of the upgrade and should have
reviewed the MTU for both 6.1 and 7.1 prior to the upgrade...

Unless your company likes surprise downtime...

Rob,
Our IT Operations staff upgraded the system over the weekend.
In fact, no mention was made to any of the programmers about being on a new
release, just a new 720 server..

MK,
No slam against you, but I think Jeff was hoping to find some positive
about the change, perhaps even take advantage of new techniques, etc.
Not simply, "damn, we upgraded, I hate change. What should I look for?"
type of stuff.
But, I agree, the cautions are important too. Hence, why, when upgrading
from V5R4 to 7.1 one should read BOTH the 6.1 and the 7.1 MTU.

Jeff, there was one SQL issue that bit me when I'd missed the piece in
the MTU that mentioned about new warning-level SQLSTATE values. Prior to
that, I had a bunch of code that tested the first two characters of
SQLSTATE for '00' as my indication that all was cool. With the new
warnings (like for Select into where the receiving host variable was
shorter than the column) returning '01...', my programs would then take a
different path than before. Oops -- had to scramble to fix those. Maybe
this was fixed in v5.4 via PTF since we moved to 7.1, and you've had a
chance to go through that already.

Otherwise, I had no other adverse impacts.
Enjoy!

Thanks Louis,
I do indeed use SQL.
I will check the MTU for 6.1 and 7.1 to see whats new there.
