Hi, Thomas,
The "rule" is, "n-2" for TGTRLS for saving to prior versions/releases.
From V7R3, you would need to have another LPAR at V7R1, save with TGTRLS(V7R1M0), send to that other LPAR, restore there, then re-save on V7R1 with TGTRLS(V5R4M0) and send the updated save file from there...
However, for source files, there is another alternative:
If you ensure that the source file on the target system is created with the same record length and CCSID etc., then you can use a DDM File to copy members directly from one machine to another.
For example:
CRTDDMF FILE(QTEMP/QCLSRC) +
RMTFILE(MSW/QCLSRC) +
RMTLOCNAME('ip address or DNS-name' *IP)
Then, just use CPYF or CPYSRCF to copy members to the QTEMP/srcfile.
Or, you can just use STRPDM option 3 (WRKMBRPDM) and use option 3=Copy to copy members, and when the prompt appears for the "To file" to specify e.g. "QTEMP/QCLSRC."
Try it. ;-)
All the best,
Mark S. Waterbury

How and where did I get the impression that data files (such as source
files) could be transferred between different OS levels? Am I just
getting old, or losing it, confusing systems, or ?
For example, QRGLESRC from a v7r3 partition to a v5r4 partition through
a save file. I know other objects can not be so done.
