What release of i5/OS are you running?   If you are on V5R3 or earlier, 
you'll need to install an additional licpgm, which is 5722-AC3.  It does 
not come with the OS/400 CDs, you have to order it seperately from IBM 
(or your business partner).  But, it's usually a no-charge item.

In V5R4, this is no longer required.  There's a new LPO called 5722-NAE 
that's required for certain functionality, but I don't think it's 
required for what you're doing.  5722-NAE should've been shipped with 
the operating system CDs.

Yes, this is what it should say.  *COMPATIBLE is better than *INSTALLED. 
 *INSTALLED only means that the software has been installed -- the 
computer cannot detect whether it's compatible with your release. 
*COMPATIBLE means that it has been installed *and* it's compatible with 
your release.   *COMPATIBLE is a good thing.

Most of your installed licpgms should say *COMPATIBLE.

But, 5722-SS1, opt 35  doesn't contain everything you need if you're on 
V5R3 or older.  You need to have 5722-AC3 as well.
