How to send and use the V7R3 created program object in V7R2 version of iseries/AS400?

Question

I have tried using save file with target system version *PRV/V7R2M0 but save file not saving the objects which are created with V7R3. How can i still use the V7R3 object in V7R2.

Answer 1

SAVOBJ TGTRLS(V7R2M0) is what you need.

However, the object has to be compatible with that prior release.

Using the DSPxxx commands, such as DSPOBJD, DSPPGM you can see what version the object was created on and/or for...

Module created on  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   V6R1M0 
Module created for . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   V6R1M0 

Creation date/time . . . . . . . . . :   11/27/12 
Source file date/time  . . . . . . . :   09/27/11 
System level . . . . . . . . . . . . :   V6R1M0   

I seem to recall for some objects, it's shown as "earliest release supported" or something like that.

Trying to save incompatible objects to a prior release should result in an error message.

Newly created Program/service program objects have to be compiled with TGTRLS(*PRV) in order for the objects to be saved with TGTRLS(*PRV).

So for example CRTBNDRPG PGM(MYPGM) TGTRLS(*PRV)
