I imagine that you've already gotten an answer (probably several), but AOL is
again holding my mail hostage further than three notes from here so I'll say
-- _up_ is easy, _down_ is hard.  V3R7 to V4R1 should be no problem, but going
the other way could cause problems if you've implemented new V4R1 features in
your code.  If you want to go the other way, be sure to specify a target
release (TGTRLS under F10 on the SAVxxx command) during the save -- any
objects utilizing new features will be excluded from the save (with a
message), thus alerting you to compatibility problems...
