Re: obsolete objects

While you can't run ANZOBJCVN after you upgrade to 6.1. or 7.1, you can
run STROBJCVN *CHECK and it will tell you what objects in that library
can't be converted.

Well, that sounds like the easiest way to find them.

You need either Observability or Creation Data to re-encapsulate a
program. You can't remove Creation Data, hence your statement about V5R1
created programs below. Creation Data is a subset of Observability, which
is the min that the OS needs to re-encapsulate the program (Re-create the
*PGM from itself in the new format).

While you can't run ANZOBJCVN after you upgrade to 6.1. or 7.1, you can
run STROBJCVN *CHECK and it will tell you what objects in that library
can't be converted.

I once tried running ANZOBJCVN again but that won't work again if you
you've already upgraded to 6.1 or 7.1. I suspect it will be pretty much
dormant until when IBM needs it again, if ever.

You may want to check out a homegrown version of ANZOBJCVN available at
http://www.think400.dk/downloads.htm

It may not be flawless, but it's a start.
I'm not sure on the logic that insists the target release be greater than
V5R1. IBM tells me that the target release is not so important as the
compiler level. Somewhere I read that anything compiled under V5R1 or
above, irregardless of target release, or whether or not it had
observability will be ok. The real culprits were items compiled by a
compiler prior to V5R1 with observability removed. Apparently there's
enough 'stuff' in there, even with observability removed, at V5R1 and
above that conversion processes ok.

How can you identify obsolete objects that exist on a V6R1 or V7R1 system?

These would be objects that were identified in ANZOBJCVN that would not
convert but were moved over to the later OS anyway.

Of course they are unusable.
