QSYS38

I'd like to know who your third party software vendor is so that we can all
make sure not to buy their product.

I think retaining QSYS38 would by far be the safest move.

Your vendor could be reacting to some users that put QSYS38 in their
library lists, which would have been a huge mistake, as IBM dynamically
moves it in and out of your library list under the covers.

Group,
  We converted from a S38 to an AS400 quite a while back.  However,
we do still have some physical and logical files that have never been
recreated so they are sitting out there with a 38 attribute.  Most of our
programs have been recompiled already as AS400 objects with a few
still lingering around as 38.  (Note that we do still have QSYS38 in our
library list.)
  We are having an issue with a 3rd party software vendor who wants
us to get rid of the QSYS38 library as their position is that it's
existence
is causing problems within their software.  So here is my question.....
We want to recompile all of our physical and logical files as AS400.
Do we then need to recompile all of the programs that sit over those
files?  What would be the ramifications (if any) of not recompiling the
AS400 programs or (if we missed some) in not recompiling the 38
programs that would then sit over the AS400 files?
