QFRCCVNRST System Value

The Force Conversion on Restore (QFRCCVNRST) system value has the following possible values.

Value	Meaning
0	Do not convert anything.
1	Objects with validation errors are converted. (This is the default.)
2	Objects that require conversion on the current version of the operating system, or on the current machine, and objects with validation errors are converted.
3	Objects that are suspected of having been tampered with, objects that contain validation errors, and objects that require conversion on the current version of the operating system or on the current machine are converted.
4	Objects that contain sufficient creation data to be converted and do not have valid digital signatures are converted.
5	Objects that contain sufficient creation data are converted.
6	All objects that do not have valid digital signatures are converted.
7	All objects are converted.

By setting QFRCCVNRST to 2 or 3, you can ensure that any incompatible program and module objects are converted immediately during Restore command (RST, RSTOBJ, RSTLIB) processing, rather than on the first activation. This might be preferable in some cases, because the time to convert a program can be long, particularly for large programs and programs that are compiled at high optimization levels. If you commonly restore programs onto a system with which they might be incompatible, consider changing this system value.
