Summary :
When upgrading to R/3 Release 3.1H on OS/400, avoid using kernel from upgrade CD R31H7001; instead, use CD R31H7042 with the corrected kernel at patch level 137. Before running PREPARE, install the kernel to avoid multiple installations and ensure consistency by using the same kernel library name as specified with parameter KRNLIB during the LODR3KRN command. Post-PREPARE, follow the same procedure, ensuring kernel library names remain consistent. Installation involves using QSECOFR user to set up and import kernel from R31H7042 following specific commands and parameters outlined in the detailed installation procedure.
