  14. Conversion Process • Dump Data • Some tables are ‘special’ dumped • Edtar_mstr • Sad_det, sar_mstr • Vph_hist • Special Dump is when the data required in EB2 needs to be in a different or new format from the source version • .dxx is created in place of .d and is used by a target version routine

Else, GTM should be converted immediately post-conversion. • Where is the full list of target version programs? • The conversion shell will automatically run the required programs.
