Re: V5R4 to 7.1

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Post i 5.4 the issue gets better but a save from 5.4 generally has the 
issue of cross library logicals but it's worse when the Logical is in a 
library alphabetically ahead of the library with the Physical.

Clearing the libraries: Good. Deleting them: Better BUT leaves you open 
to issues with library lists that require those libraries.

Also be sure to save and to restore the libraries all in one command or 
you leave yourself open to having to rebuild access paths even if you 
said to save them.
