BPCS documentation

[Dennis Munro <DMunro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are running BPCS 6.0.02, full C/S, PLf, Mar '98 cum.

There is a file in the BPCSPTF library called BPCSDOC with an attribute of
PF-SRC.  These are run time documentation instructions according to SSA.

Seeing as how we are full C/S, we do not have the program that will print
these instructions.  I spent an hour once trying to cut and paste the
contents into Word and gave that up as a waste of time.  I was working with
one of the AS/400 technical people from the Help Line and he offered to
print the "Logic Manual" for me which he did and I was very appreciative.
He was going to create a BMR to allow C/S people to print this
documentation.  I have lost contact with person and don't know if the BMR
was even accepted.

Are there other full C/S shops out there that have found a way to print this
documentation?  As far as that goes, I have access to a green screen command
line so any AS/400 program, if available, would work.

If it can be downloaded to a p/c and processed that way is fine - I just
would like to be able to print some of this information and hand out to the
users.

The following is a screen "print" of the data I am referring to.

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
