Frank;
I responded to your last reply but you might have missed it.
The program DB6CONV lets you choose to either create a new tablespace for the conversion or if you do not and choose to use the existing tablespace that the source of the conversion is it will do that. I did not create a new tablespace and let the program use the existing tablespace (BTABD & BTABI) for this conversion. That is where the code goes wrong. For whatever reason it is not using the existing tablespace to create the 'temporary' tables (qcm8) and that is why it fails in the first step. This is a DB6CONV issue as I have used the utility to make this conversion before. I hope this clears up the confusion you were having.
Thanks,
Len.
