RE: Re[2]: SAVOBJ to previous release

[Bruce Guetzkow <bguetzkow@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Buck:

When you compile to release V4R1 and try to save specifying V3R2, the SAVOBJ 
command recognizes that a V4R1 object will not be recognized as a valid object 
in V3R2.  I don't believe you can create any object at a given release and save 
it specifying an earlier target release.

We were developing at V3R7 with a production box at V3R2 for some time and 
specified V3R1 as the target release (lowest common denominator) for all 
compiles.  It was a pain, but we lived with it.  (Now we're at V3R7 across the 
board...no more target release!)

Vernon,
        Yes, that works, but our developers won't be too happy
having to override all their compiles; especially when the CL
program doesn't use any "new" functionality!

Do you have any idea why SAVOBJ TGTRLS() works
differently than CRTCLPGM TGTRLS()?
