RE: Upgrading your OS release level

Also be sure and check Memo to users for any release you are skipping.
The SPD card I had to replace was listed in the V5R1 memo but NOT in the
V5R2 one

Actually there are numerous SPD items that V5R2 blows out of the water,
or 
cripples.  Certain 1/4" tape drives for example.

Again, read the planning information.  There is a note in the "Memo to 
users" to do so.

We went from V4R5 to V5R2 on our 720. No ill effects felt. I don't think
there are any SPD bus issues with V5R2. I know that there was an issue 
with
stuff like HTTP server and Firewall for AS/400. There is also the
trigger program issue which has been thoroughly discussed here.

Thanks,

Mark

i am being told that migrating from anything UNDER 5.1 will cause some
information to be either compromised or lost completely. Can you
corroborate that at all?
