"I'd expect unexpected results"

Wait a second... I'm in a loop with that statement :)

My first thought was a disassembler if this is something pretty small, and then try to pick out any assembled TPX macros and control block references since I think those would be the most likely changes between versions that would cause expected unexpected results. Still a lot of guessing though.

We have some user exits used for TPX 5.2 and unfortunately we don't know where 
the source codes are located.

Is it ok to just copy over to 5.4 ?

Not a bad idea, but I don't consider that necessary if the product
doesn't come with an LMOD for that exit in the product loadlib that is
being replaced by the one you want to create.  There is no chance that
product maintenance will regress the exit which is the main reason you
would want a usermod.  Good product installation documentation that
says there is an exit in use and putting it in a concatenated loadlib
or even directly into the product loadlib is fine as far as I'm
concerned.  Just so the next pour sole that has to upgrade the product
next knows there is an exit and where the source code and asm/lnk JCL
is.

But that's just my opinion.  Creating the usermod is more trouble than
I want to go through if I don't have to do it to protect the integrity
of the product installation.

Best Regards,

Mark
