To upgrade in this manner - the executables require observability (I believe it was 6.1 that this was needed for)
We just did that upgrade, and found quite a number of executables had to be recompiled because of this situation and this had to be done PRIOR to the upgrade

Some slipped through the cracks and we occasionally come across them
Cannot remember the message that is displayed, but it requires a recompile of that program

Subject: Why wouldn't it work?

Forgive my ignorance here...

What specifically could make an IBM application that works on v5r4 NOT be able to work on v7r1 or v7r3?
Maybe I can't see the forest for the trees here but, IBM works pretty hard at upward compatibility.
What OS facilities or licensed programs of v5r4 are inoperable, flawed, faulty, or functionally different at v7r1 or higher?
SQL? Java? Certainly not RPG, RPGLE, or Cobol.
I'm presuming v5r4 objects can be restored to v7r1/v7r3 as well.
