RE: restore V3R1 pgms and data to a V4R4 machine

Believe it or not the data will restore just fine.  The programs need to
have observability and will translate and run.  You can not restore the OS
and Licensed programs.  It cannot hurt to try.

Subject: restore V3R1 pgms and data to a V4R4 machine


Hi,
I need to restore some V3R1 tapes to my 170 at V4R4.
A client's machine died at V3 and they need to get some reporting
capabilities.  I'm faced with two options, restore their programs and
data to my 170, or get their CISC machine up and running.  The CISC
machine has been in moth balls for two years, they have no SAVSYS, so
I'd prefer to just get their stuff running temporarily on my 170.
Any suggestions?  Best I can tell, I've got a NONSYS save tape to work
with.

Any helpful advice is appreciated.  I'm hoping it's just a restore, and
let the system figure it out as I go.   All this without killing my
current system, which is "live" stuff.

Thanks.
