RE: V5R1 upgrade

[thomas@xxxxxxxxxxx]

The V5R1 Memo to Users describes various "conversions" during the upgrade, but 
I saw nothing about any database conversion. Does anybody know of any 
documentation for this?

The Memo to Users has been a good guide in the past. I don't like thinking that 
it's going to start losing its effectiveness. Calling for support after the 
fact sure doesn't seem like a viable option.
