Re: object in qsys damaged-more

I am not aware of MULIC and\or FULIC requirements. Searching either with V4R4 might assist; e.g.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=v4r4&as_epq=&as_oq=mulic+fulic
There I found a reference suggesting neither [in the reply by Marc]:

However assuming nobody having V4R4 from which they offer a SAVF with a replacement for the damaged object, then also assuming the object is unneeded on that system [whatever requires the object should surely be failing with an mch16xx], then to effect a complete save you could replace that service program with another which is not damaged. Of course the save system would not be truly /valid/ irrespective of its completeness, in the sense of functional, but it would enable the SAVSYS to complete without error. If that service program is referenced during an install [from that media] however, it would require a valid SAVSYS or original media to recover [to install from] anyhow.

FWiW I recall that [component] TQ identifies the internationalization software, so activity involving national language and CCSID might be affected. During an install the database inquires of that component [not necessarily of that service program QTQIINIT, but very possibly] to initialize the national language CCSID and associate DBCS CCSID.

Since a move to any supported release on a i515 is going to require data migration, it makes the much sense to pursue that stat, and just be done with the old hdw & sfw.

Appreciate the clarity of your response. Customer's in a bit of a
bind. 8 years ago business partner installed the machine, took many
weeks to get running right (config issues, not software..), walked
away with the OS cd's. Unfortunately customer didn't understand
keeping Full Sys save and overwrote the tape 8 years ago. We have no
full sys save with undamaged objects, plus no cd's of OS.

Question: At V4R4 - does it require a "unique" keyed cd or tape?

btw - already talking about new 515..
