RE: Target release behaving strangely on saves from V5R1

[Jeff Bull <Jeff.Bull@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Martin,
        how have you transferred the savf to the target system?  The savf is
an object in its own right of course; if you have saved the savf ... that
too must be save with a target release.

The save to target release v4r3 is probably to do with the op-codes /
commands used in the programs, or DDS keywords in the files.  This error
occurs when for example, features new-in-V4R4 are used in a program - the
earliest target release will then be v4r4.  Check out DSPPGM and the value
"Earliest release that program can run".

Subject: Target release behaving strangely on saves from V5R1


I have a library on a V5R1 machine containing objects compiled at
various releases from V4R3 to V5R1, but all with a target release of
V4R4 or lower.  If I create a save file and save the library to it with
SAVLIB TGTRLS(V4R4M0), the save completes successfully.  But when I view
the save file, it shows "Release level  . . . :   V4R5M0".  And, indeed,
a colleague can't restore it on a V4R4 machine.

I've searched the archives, the web, and Usenet about this, but to no
avail.  I do know there's something buggy, though, because if I specify
TGTRLS(V4R3M0), instead of failing elegantly with an "unsupported
release" message, the SAVLIB command dumps.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Martin.
