Re: STROBJCVN - Need to interrupt a V6R1M0 conversion

Thanks Vern,
That's what I would have expected.

I was just getting a wee concerned that after +/- 20 hours my STROBJCVN
console wasn't getting any feedback from the STROBJCVN.

Well my patient(well sometimes) wife insisted we take the dogs out for an
hours work and, hey presto, on returning to my screen I'm now getting
messages showing that objects in libraries are being converted.

Might just have to wait.
