The QFRCCVNRST (force conversion on restore) system value has been around a
long time. It was significantly enhanced in V5R2. The reason this was done
was so that customers could force any programs they restore (or install) to
be translated with a trusted translator. This will remove any patches from
the programs and force them to run in user state. Think of this as a way to
automatically remove malware.

This has been discussed before on Midrange-L. See

those notes.
