Al, the programs need to be recompiled on a release AFTER V2R1.  The
problem with the RPG compiler was there from the beginning, and was
fixed in V2R2.  Before V2R2, the RPG compiler generated code that
changed some storage that became write-protected at higher security
levels (40, I thought) in V2R2.  The RPG compiler was fixed to stop
changing that write-protected storage.

Your message should say

  The bad news is that because of a bug in the pre-V2R2 RPG compiler,
and because
  of a change to Level 40 security effective in V5R2, your RPG programs
compiled
  prior to V4R2 may need to be recompiled.  The bug manifests itself
with a runtime
  MCH6801.
