I don't believe you can use a V5 IODF (created on the z/OS 1.7 system) on a z/OS 1.4 system. Perhaps one if the hardware gurus on the list can help out with a reference? Cheers,,,Steve Steve Conway Lead Systems Programmer Information Systems & Services Division Computer & Network Operations

Roger, Rather that rename the IODF, just copy the 1.7 (v5) IODF with a new suffix, then do an soft activate. This should then resync the tokens...(name of the IODF doesn't need to match for the tokens to be in sync). Then if they go back in sync, rename the old iodf, copy this IODF back to th
