Anyway, for a side job, there is a system that is due to be retired soon
that is still running 6.1. We are looking at moving them to a new system.
Can we do the migration without upgrading, or do we have to upgrade to 7.1
then migrate and upgrade to (hopefully) to whatever the latest version
is. (Yes, I am THAT far behind on knowing what's out there).

We have been upgrading the old hardware to the latest OS it will support
and running that for a couple of weeks to make sure the app mix runs OK.
Then SAV off the old hardware and RST onto the new.

The latest is P8 hardware and IBM i 7.3

IBM i 7.1 will go End of Support on 2018-04-30.
