I'm trying to create packages for installp using mklpp
and using the lpp_name below. The mklpp commands makes
the lpp without problems, but inutoc will not create
the .toc file. Inutoc complains:

0503-005 inutoc: The format of the toc file is invalid.

Any idea what's going on?

(aix 5.2ML4)
(mklpp-1.2.9.0)

The problem is the first character ('5') of the lpp_name file.
The IBM AIX pub:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoce...de3b433190mela
says this:
Field Name Format Separator Description
1. Format Integer White space Indicates the release
level of installp for which this package was built. The values are:
* 1 - AIX 3.1
* 3 - AIX 3.2
* 4 - AIX 4.1 and later
Note the "4" is 'AIX 4.1 and later'. There is no '5' for that field.

I should have read the manual more closely. I had seen the
2, 3, 4 and thought the manual was out of date, that's why
I put the 5 there.

It works great with a 4.

Thanks.
