Re: Data structure changes in QSYSINC?

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah, these are not supposed to be changed in a way that makes problems.

But I see from the change history that everything after the OBFUSCATION 
option flag is different in 7.2 on up from the change made at 7.1.

The 7.1 stuff included RCAC and mask and other stuff - not there at all 
from 7.2 on up - is it a big OOPS, as Mark suggests?

Good luck, man!
