However, if you want to convert in V5R1 or V5R2, it must be done 
in restricted state.  By far the best option is to let it convert 
via magic after you've upgraded to V5R3.  With the exception of 
one extremely large and busy IFS environment (millions of objects 
and high CPU busy), the conversion runs in minutes to hours verus 
days.  There's not a high probably of needing to run RCLSTG 
within hours of completing your upgrade to V5R3.
