In fact, most of the rules pertaining to SQL syntax have been strengthened in 6.1. Joe Pluta was the forum's most recent victim of this.

Tim,

If you have gotten into SQL, take not of the SQL0338 error message
discussion in the MTU. I saw a company go dead in the water after their
upgrade because their SQL whiz kid had coded them into a corner.

Great link below Chris. Tim, pay attention to it. Especially the "Memo
to Users" part and the "Installing PTFs and analyzing your system for
object conversions". The latter will get you to "i5/OSR Program
Conversion: Getting Ready for i5/OS V6R1 " at
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/abstracts/redp4293.html?Open

Although I recommend going straight to 7.1. You still must read the 6.1
MTU and the conversion stuff.

If you go to 6.1 of OS I would go to 6.1.1 of LIC and not 6.1 of LIC.
There's no valid reason not to. It's not as if 6.1.1 will cause problems
on certain hardware that 6.1 wouldn't. 6.1.1, however, will allow you to
use hardware that 6.1 won't.

See "resaves" at:
http://www-947.ibm.com/systems/support/i/planning/resave/v6r1.html
paging down to 6.1.1 Machine Code.
