RE: *TYPE2 Directory conversion and a V5R2 upgrade....

Ok how can one tell if their IFS was converted to *TYPE2 at V5R1?  If it is
not Converted, what is the API to call to convert it?  Where is the
documentation about converting your IFS to a *TYPE2 so I can see the
cost/benefits?

Yes, you can convert at V5R1 or V5R2 and you do *not* have to do 
it as part of the upgrade to V5R2.

This is very poorly worded (and I'm not sure I can do a lot 
better).  How about ..... In a future release, IBM *may* decide 
to discontinue support of TYPE1 and you will be forced to convert 
during the release upgrade process (meaning the upgrade will take 
longer).  To avoid this extended outage, IBM recommends you 
perform the conversion at your earliest convenience.
