RE: XRF

AS/400    V4R5M0    BPCS 6.0.02 plf, C/S, Mar'98 cum

I've played with XRF before & have never gotten it to work.  I've added the
physical file member (SS is the default) to XXD & to the XXDLxx logicals.
The programs now do not bomb when called but neither do they produce any
output except a joblog.  I call XRF500c & it does something but stops after
10-15 seconds when run interactive.

When it comes time to run XRF100C, seeing as how I have no source, I leave
the first column blank & it does not like that.

Of course, all the XRFxxxC CL source programs were created with
ALWRTVSRC(*NO) so you can't figure out what should be happening.

Client/Server people (at least the older versions) again get the short shaft
when trying to run some of these "documentation" tools.  I only got DOC to
work after more trial & error.  It will not come out formatted as a M/M
customer gets.  I had a "VERY KIND" SSA Help Line person print out the logic
manual & send it to me.  Why do these things not work in the Client/Server
world - at least in the "older" versions?  And of course you can bet that
they never will be made to work.  Not a "high" revenue" generator.

So when somebody says they work, list the type & version you are on so I
know better than to get my hopes up about getting something good for nothing
- that really should have been there.  Except my company happened to buy a
version that "documentation" was considered an after thought & they haven't
gotten to that thought yet & never will.

Thanks - Dennis.

location.
