Re: Managing Duplicate Software

[Boris Goldenberg <bpcsguru@xxxxxxxxx>]

Al,

The AS/400 command to list desired objects into an *OUTFILE is

DSPOBJD

Once you have your file built, you may use Query to sort it in any
order you wish.

I agree with you that it can get very confusing very fast to keep
track of all the BMR libraries.  Strict discipline needs to be
maintained otherwise you'll forget what got moved where and why.

Regards,

Boris Goldenberg
