John,

Note that the pSeries doesn't support any of this. Its an
iSeries only
thing. In fact, its one of the things that makes the System
i so cool.
I'll assume the pSeries in your message was a typo, but don't
do it again!
<grin>

The Inside the AS/400 book mentioned before will have more
details, but
basically when you compile a ILE or OPM program, the
intermediate form of
the program is stored in the actual program object along with
the executable
form that uses actual hardware instructions. This allows the
system to
re-translate (convert) the program when nescessary. This
usually occurs
during SAVE/RESTORE of the program, first use of the program,
or when you
explictly as for it to occur.

I was kind-of going on the fact that the iSeries and pSeries are
actually on the identical architecture, hardware-wise. I.e. both are on
Power. I just didn't say it very well.

Supposedly my copy of "Inside the AS/400" will be arriving on Monday.
