Re: System Upgrade

Pete,

You are right, of course. I seemed to remember some issues when we did our
V4R5-->V5R1 conversion, regarding the observability property of some
third-party programs. We restored our *PGM with FRCOBJCVN(*YES) , and one of
our software providers had some really old code with observability removed.

Regards,
