#7 Older version of iMenu for IBMi 7.1

[Steve Munday]

Hi, good day to you.

I'm "stuck" on IBMi 7.1 (I know!!) so was wondering whether there's an older v2 version which would work on this old OS release?

Many thanks, Steve

Ooh, sorry to hear that! :)

To be honest, I've not really given much thought to OS version support when I rebuilt iMenu, and I think I may have used features of 7.2, 7.3 and even 7.4 in the code, so I don't know if it will even compile to 7.1

I'm using PUB400 for the development, which I know is at 7.5, so I'm not sure if I can compile and/or save to that version - but I'll check and get back to you.

It looks like PUB400 won't allow a save for anything lower than 7.3

What I would suggest is:
* Download the iMenu save file
* Get yourself an account at PUB400.COM
* Upload the save file to PUB400.COM
* Restore the contents.
* Connect to PUB400.COM using either RDi or VSCode
* Using RDi or VSCode, copy the source from PUB400.COM to your local machine.
* Change the TGTRLS value in BUILDR4 to 'V7R1M0'.
* Compile the BUILD command.
* Compile the INSTALL program.
* Run the INSTALL program and see what doesn't compile.
* Amend the failing source to use the equivalent V7R1 features instead.

Many thanks for your help. Seems I have Firewall issues connecting to pub400.com using a 5250 emulator so will look into that.

All the best, Steve

Ben,

Hi, apologies for the extended delay in responding. "Yes please" that would be very helpful indeed.

Many thanks, Steve

Hi Steve, sorry for the delay, see attached. I had to build the message file, and included my code.
