RE: Restore issues

Ed,

You should report that to IBM - it's a bug.  You're supposed to be able to 
restore objects from any previous release, even a S/38.

Jim and others who have replied,
We have  covered all the bases that have been mentioned and think we may
have hit on something.  We are restoring to a model 720 running V4R4.  The
objects that are giving us the problem all have a system level of V1R5 or
earlier (honest! - we're converting systems on a company we acquired last
November and they have managed to stay far from the bleeding edge!) 
Anyway,
we can restore the library to a model 300 running V3R2 without any 
problems.
We are chalking it up to an operating system restriction and handling the 
4
libraries that are giving us the problems by going to the model 300 first,
saving the library on that box and restoring it to the 720.  Good thing we
haven't scrapped the 300 yet! Thanks to everyone that responded.

If I recall, there are several ways this can happen.  The job log is the
first place to look.  The main one that strikes here is cross-library
logicals: an LF in a library other than the PF.  The owner of the object 
on
the tape differing from the owner of the object on the system can give you
fits too.
