subst

However, the link I have has worked for longer than a year, so that's 
acceptable with me.  After all, who doesn't use favorites?  Isn't that a 
lot like asking you how many steps does it take to successfully administer 
CPR without the use of any electronic equipment or your arms?

ok, Here is a challenge:
 
Do not use a bookmark. Start with www.ibm.com. Give me the address that I
can click on that answers the question I asked. Also give the entire route
that you used. Please do it on dialup.
 
How many clicks? How many searches? what did you search on? How many
minutes?

Shannon,
 
You're right. It is frustrating when they move stuff around. But you're
also quite right that for looking up basic syntax in the ILE RPG manual is
not really hard.

Sorry to hear that. I've always had good luck finding answers to
questions
such as your basic syntax question pretty easily in the info-center.
However, I do feel your pain as far as IBM pages moving around, book marks
disappearing and so on. That's been an ongoing problem for years. It's
readily apparent that the folks who run/manage IBM's content for their
website are not actual users of the information. If they were, they'd see
that links don't work, or they'd recognize how annoying it is to bookmark
a
useful page and then go back to it a month later only to discover that the
page has dissapeared, been renamed or merged with a new page.
