Re: Reverting from 11.X -> 10.X using onmode -....

In Response To: Re: Reverting from 11.X -> 10.X using onmode -b do (John Miller iii)

Ar, John,

I totally understand that, but my issue is that it works with 11.50.FC3
but then doesn't for FC4. I would like to do this the supported way
because we all know how IBM/Informix support will not support doing
unsupported solutions:

IBM Informix Dynamic Server Version 11.50.FC3 -- On-Line -- Up 47 days 11:22:58 -- 3829888 Kbytes

testaix01.icallinc.com:(/home/informix) $ onmode -b 10.00
This will make all necessary modifications to disk structures
so that the IBM Informix Dynamic Server space will be compatible with
INFORMIX-OnLine Version 10.00
