2843.0. "Use of %VERSION in INIT file on VMS and UNIX??" by CSCMA::MADDIREDDY () Tue Apr 08 1997 13:42

    Hi,
     Customer wants to know how we use %VERSION line in DMQ INIT file on VMS
    and UNIX systems. I was under the impression that it is documenation
    string.
    
    This request could be duplicate. I could not find the other instance of
    this question....
    
    Thank you  in advance...

    It is used to determine whether or not the format  of  the
    file matches the format the parser understands.
    
    For UNIX,  the parser used to be able  to  switch  formats
    on the fly.  That is version n of the software could parse
    the file formats for version n, n - 1, n - 2, ... 1.  With
    V4.0 we decided to cripple the product (i.e.  make it more
    like VMS :-)  So for V4.0 if your init file does  not  say
    4.0 then we bail out immediately. What that means is users
    have to do an extra step  to  convert their old initializa-
    tion files to the new format.   If users are coming from a
    very old version they may have to do multiple  incremental
    conversions to get to a parsable V4.0 file.
