Re: i5/OS V6R1 not converting *SRVPGMs on "first touch"?

Thanks to all who replied.

To answer some of the questions others asked:

1. this is a vendor product, certified to run at V6R1 and above. The vendor ships all objects with *UNOBS, which is fine.

2. for some reason, when the customer did the restore, they had system value QFRCCVNRST set to "1" so no automatic conversion took place at that time.

3. they did not submit a STROBJCVN for the library, as far as I know, after the restore.

The reason for my post to the list was, I thought OS/400 or i5/OS was supposed to convert such objects automatically, on "first touch", but instead, we see the Informational message CPI5D20 in the job log. But, even after that, the object still shows as "Conversion Required" is *YES. :-o

Perhaps this is a case where loading one ILE *PGM or *SRVPGM that references this other *SRVPGM causes the CPI5D20 to be issued, but unless or until the application actually CALLs into one of the entry points of this *SRVPGM, it remains unconverted?

Subsequent to posting my original question to this list, I told the customer to run STROBJCVN over this library, and that seems to have resolved the issue; the CPI5D20 message no longer appears, and those objects now show "Conversion required . . . . *NO" .

Very strange ... I hope someone from IBM RochLabs might be able to clarify this.
