Convert Validation List Entry (QSYCVTVL) API

The Convert Validation List (QSYCVTVL) API converts a validation list object from a maximum size of 4 gigabytes to a maximum size of 1 terabyte. Converting a validation list to a 1 terabyte validation list will allow for more entries to be stored in the validation list. Also, the existing entries are stored more efficiently in a 1 terabyte validation list.

Note: If the validation list is converted to a 1 terabyte validation list, it cannot be saved to a release prior to Version 5 Release 2 Modification 0.

Note: The validation list to be converted must reside in the current library namespace.
