Debbie,

I'm not sure what the difference is but, pf38 and lf38 objects work just
like regular 400 physicals and logicals.  i'm currently working on a box
that has a ton of these - and they do not have QSYS38 in their library
list.

Although recently, they upgraded to V5R1, and several queries that used
LF38 files blew up and would only work if the logicals were recompiled.
But, only some LF38 files needed to be recompiled.  others worked fine.

I believe your biggest problem will be the program objects with 38
attributes.

hth,

Rick

Group,
  We converted from a S38 to an AS400 quite a while back.  However,
we do still have some physical and logical files that have never been
recreated so they are sitting out there with a 38 attribute.  Most of our
programs have been recompiled already as AS400 objects with a few
still lingering around as 38.  (Note that we do still have QSYS38 in our
library list.)
  We are having an issue with a 3rd party software vendor who wants
us to get rid of the QSYS38 library as their position is that it's
existence
is causing problems within their software.  So here is my question.....
We want to recompile all of our physical and logical files as AS400.
Do we then need to recompile all of the programs that sit over those
files?  What would be the ramifications (if any) of not recompiling the
AS400 programs or (if we missed some) in not recompiling the 38
programs that would then sit over the AS400 files?
