RE: Are you risking termination of software support if you install OV /400over V5R1?

Hey,

I use Text Management all the time.  I even have a utility that captures a
screen whenever you want to and drops it into Text Management.  It picks up
underlines, high intensity and even lets you see hidden fields.  (You
wouldn't know it unless you looked, but there happen to be many hidden
fields in the command prompter!)

My invoicing system generates Text Management members which I can modify
any way I want.

Al,

Uh...  You wrote "(User interface *FROMNOAHSARK)".  I'm an old fart, no
doubt... but you've REALLY dated yourself, here...

(I think they musta removed this keyword prior to CPF 2.0 or 3.0...;-)


:-) !

| I stand corrected.
|
| I changed QVFYOBJRST from 3 (the shipped value) to 1 (the don't
| do anything
| option), and I was able to do an "Install All" (Option 1 from GO LICPGM).
| I consider the fact that it loaded a bug.  Under GO LICPGM option 10, it
| does show up as *INSTALLED, which I find remarkable, but that could be a
| bug too!
|
| However when I did STROFC, I got a MCH3601.  I give up!
|
| My best guess is if you want to use this function, you will need to do
| business with the people that bought it from IBM.  Alternatively you
could
| try Lotus Notes?Domino (*VERYEXPENSIVE and will not provide all of the
| function that OV provided, although realistically it does have a
| significantly greater capability that OV).  We did migrate some HELP key
| applications and some mail-merge applications to TextManagement/38, which
| you may already own and which has infinitely lower support cost.  (User
| interface *FROMNOAHSARK)
|
| In fairness to the Notes/Domino folks, we use it extensively, but for
mail
| (significantly better than OV), calendaring (about the same as OV) and
| document databases (OV isn't in that universe).
|
| Now I'm going to go back and change QVFYOBJRST to 3 as God intended it to
| be.
