RE: BPCS documentation

I have a full set of "BPCS Reference Manuals" for v6.02. They are in MS Word
format and seem to correspond to the old Run Docs that shipped with v4. I
have one manual for each subsystem. I acquired them from another consultant
who couldn't remember who he got them from. I once asked around on helpline
and nobody there even knew they existed or seemed to be aware of how to get
permission to have them. They are copyrighted but I think are available for
anyone with OGS if they can figure out how to get them. I usually just print
them up for my clients after seeing evidence that they have OGS.

|
|
|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.
