Re: link to valid TGTRLS values for v5r2

Type . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   SIMPLE NAME
Target release . . . . . . . . .   *CURRENT 
 
*CURRENT 
*PRV 
V4R5M0 
V5R1M0 
V5R2M0 

Why many people stayed at V4R5 is to allow a few bad apples to spoil the 
whole barrel.  They were supporting a customer, (or thought they were), 
that was running something old like V4R1.  And while you couldn't compile 
to V4R1 under V4R5, you could compile down to V3R2 and still run on V4R1.

Doggone it.  I know this has been discussed before on the list, but
durned if I can find it in the archives.  So, when answering, a link to
the answer, in the archives or elsewhere, would be preferred, just so
you know I really was trying to look.

I need to know what is the earliest release I can compile RPG-IV and
RPG/400 programs to.  We will be upgrading to v5r2 at the end of the
month.  We are currently at v4r5 and the compiler commands' help DOES
NOT say!  It's crappy generic:

  Valid values depend on the current version, release, and
  modification level, and they change with each new release.
  If you specify a target-release that is earlier than the 
  earliest release supported by this command, an error 
  message is sent indicating the earliest supported release.

<rant>
ARRGGHHH!  Who comes up with this stuff?  One would think that, if the
compiler will kick out an error if TGTRLS is specified with an
unsupported release, that the stupid help text would have it as well.

TIA, Dan
