Re: Running S/36 objects with V5R3...

[Jerry Adams <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Like Jim says, as long as you're talking QS36F, there have been no 
issues.  It's a library like any other.  I port save files of QS36F from 
our production to backup system twice daily and restore those suckers 
without a hitch.  Previous to that I converted a 720 (v5R1) to our 
current 520 (v5r3) simply by saving and restoring the user libraries. 

Why, out of curiosity, would your associate think there would be a 
problem?  Does s/he have something specific in mind that maybe bit 'em 
before?
