+<b>Environment</b>
-Currently, there are no iDocs PTF updates to load when upgrading to iDocs 6.x
+iDocs 6.00 thru iDocs 6.86 (iView 8.42) requires V5R4+
+iDocs 6.90 (iView 8.60) requires V6R1+
+</pre></html>
 One of the ‘features’ of iDocs 6.x was that Global Offset and Form Application X/Y positioning adjustments now are functional.  In releases prior to iDocs 5.2 these offsets where ignored.  Since they are now functional, any value previously specified will now impact the current mapping alignment.  If you are upgrading from iDocs 5.2 or newer, I would not anticipate any issues as these features have been functional since these releases.  If you are upgrading from an older version previous to iDocs 5.2 and have values assigned to these functions, then you may need to reset your Global Offset settings and your X/Y positioning adjustments on your Form and Check Applications to realign the data text on the output.

 Prior to restoring your new iDocs 6.x software, you will need to rename your current library from FMG or current name, to a new name.  For example, most people rename their current FMG library to FMGOLD.  If you already have previous library called FMGOLD, maybe from a previous upgrade, you can delete your previous version of FMGOLD and then remain your current library to FMGOLD, or you can give the already existing FMGOLD library a new name, like FMGOLD2, and then continue renaming your current FMG library to FMGOLD.
+**Note:** If you have created any user output queues or files in your iDocs library you will have to save them and manually restore to the new iDocs library.  The COPYDATA procedure will NOT copy user created objects.

 Note: //Make sure to use the correct library names on the To and FROM fields.  Once done, it cannot be undone.//
+If you already are using iFax, before executing the COPYDATA command find out your COM port by going to a command line and typing in WRKLIND FAXCOM*.
+This will display a list of current lines being used for your FAXCOM (most likely one line).  Select the line with 5 to Display and make note of the value for Resource Name, and if internal modem or external.  You will use these values during the execution of the COPYDATA command if you are using iFax.\\
