But I should have said

... your RPG programs compiled prior to V2R2 may need to be recompiled
...

(V2R2, not V4R2, sorry for any additional confusion.)

Ed Fishel kindly searched out this excerpt from the V2R3 Memo To Users:

| If you wish to run your [RPG] programs at security level of 50
| (QSECURITY of 50), the following programs need to be recompiled:
| System/38-compatible RPG and native RPG/400 programs using
| WORKSTN files that were compiled before Version 2 Release 2,
| except as follows:

| Programs compiled in Version 2 Release 2 with TGTRLS(*PRV)
| with PTF 5738RG1 SF12493 applied do not have to be
| recompiled.  Programs compiled in Version 2 Release 1
| Modification 1 with TGTRLS (*CURRENT), with PTF 5738RG1 SF12577
| applied do not have to be recompiled.
