RE: Tape conversion

Martin,

Having you development machine at v4r5 does nothing to help you.

To get the tapes to v5r2, you'd need to restore and resave them to a
v5r2 or higher box.

However, there is no need to move the tapes to v5r2.  You should have no
problem restoring a tape saved at v4r5 to any higher release.

Moving forward is never a problem, only when you try to move backward
(v5r4-->v4r5) do you run into trouble.


HTH,

Subject: Tape conversion

I have some 3570 Magstar tapes from an old machine (V4R3) 
which I need to
resave at a current level (V5R2 for us).
I kept our development machine at V4R5 specifically for this 
reason but
don't want to restore all the libraries (which include system 
libraries) and
then save at the new level. Is there a tape to tape method to convert
libraries from one version to another ? Or a better way ?
