Re: Getting source to old box

["Peter Colpaert" <Peter.Colpaert@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Have you tried connecting to the old box with WDSCi?

This has a neat copy/paste possibility for source, conserving the change
date et al.

(I haven't tried this, as we don't have anything below V4R5 in our iSeries
park).

First choice would be to put everything into a save file, and FTP it from
one to the other. Or save it to tape, and physically move it to the other
box.

But you might not be able to make such a large backward jump (which is an
argument for doing your development on the oldest version of the OS that
you're ever likely to have to support). The fact that it's source you're
moving around, though, should give you another option: you could try
FTPing the source file itself into an empty source file on the V3R7
machine. That *should* work, and would bypass the prior release
constraints involved with tapes and save files.

But make sure an empty file exists on the target machine; otherwise, if
FTP has to create the file, it will create a flat file, and make a
(probably not very good) guess about record length.
