All IBM told me at the time was the new V5R1 database format.  Conversion is
supposed to take place during the upgrade.  Ours didn't (on two out of two
upgrades that we've done so far) and when access attempts were attempted on
production files, things went belly up.  I can't remember the full details,
it was a while ago, but a targetted "touching" of the files fixed the
problems.
