Tuesday Tip: Display Program Version
By Bob Cozzi

Knowing what version of IBM i that your programs can run on is getting to be more and more important as we move beyond version 5.4 of the operating system. Program conversion is required to move to i 6.1 and the RPG compiler continues to support just n-2 for the target release parameter. If you're a software developer, this becomes even more important. In this week's Tuesday Tip, I introduce the DSPPGMVER command, which displays the earliest release that a program can be restored or run on, as well as whether the program needs to be re-encapsulated (i.e., converted) before you move it to 6.1 or later. *View tip now. . .
