FYI, if this had been the inverse .. migrating a UV account to UniData, it

"UV_RESTORE", which takes a uvbackup sourced account and restores and
converts it to UniData file formats.
I have always had problems getting the uv_restore to work
properly. It was buggy and since it was not used often, IBM did not
have big incentives to fix it. I believe we ended up using a
proprietary tool that reads and writes to sequential files and then
reads and writes it back to a hashed file.
Interestingly, it turned out that there is an explicit UD to UV conversion
utility, "udtconv" introduced in 9.4.1 (but dropped from the 10.0 docs),
that will convert a single file or an entire account. Obviously that command
is so old and so unused that almost no one on this list except for Doug
Miller (by the way, thanks Doug) remembered that it existed (and that would
include IBM support!).
Glad it helped!
