% RESTORE: Unexpected item code found in save file. 5.6 [message #35194]

Dear All,

I have just upgraded to IDL 5.6 from IDL5.5. A processing chain I set up
relies upon writing and reading data from IDL's save files - the routines to
create these save files were written in IDL 5.5. The routines seem to work
as normal under IDL5.6.

Using an older 5.5 installation of IDL if I restore a save file created
under 5.6 I get an warning

% RESTORE: Unexpected item code found in save file.

The save file itself is restored and seems to be normally accessible.

If I look at save files created by 5.5 and restored in 5.6 there seems to be
no problems.

It seems as though the save procedure in 5.6 introduces a new tag, or
something, that although doesn't inhibit the restore procedure under IDL
5.5 does return the above warning.

Has anyone else seen this? and does anyone know if this updated (?) save
procedure in 5.6 has any other effects for backward compatiablitiy?

Thanks for any feedback,

All the best

Rich.
