My point is that sjl seemed to be saying that CLPs from older systems
can always be restored on newer systems and run perfectly fine. But
this isn't true.

I need an example of this that doesn't work - I think you had said that things won't work if other objects used are not present - of course, that's the case. I think Steve's assumption is that the environment is the same.

But if one makes the valid assumption that the rest of the environment is present, when will a restored CLP not work?

I had a secondary point which is that on systems other than IBM i, the
issue of "restoring CLP objects" wouldn't even come up, because on
those other systems, people use shell scripts to do what most i people
use CLPs for.

This seems to be a distraction from the original point - it doesn't do anything to disprove the original proposition.

All your points are valid, perhaps, and not germain to the OP, IMO.
