RE: B145-4605 during upgrade from V4R5 to V5R3

Suppose you were a software vendor, and you had some physical files.  And 
you converted them automatically when they upgraded from your version 1.5 
to 1.6 it converts a physical file via a simple program that assumes 
several things like the format matches 1.5.  Now assume back in 1.4 that 
same file's fields were named different in 1.5.  Heck and some of the 
fields that used to be numeric are now alphanumeric.

How well would you think the program would handle that?

I guess I would be grateful if IBM stopped it before upgrading LIC by 
throwing a SRC versus upgrading my LIC and then finding out it couldn't 
upgrade SS1 because of conversion issues.
