Tips & Learning Curve

[MacWheel99@xxxxxxx]

No questions here - just sharing enthusiasm for stuff I discovered by accident

SYS017 is a short cut back door to any BPCS program, menu, or product list, 
like the old S/36 command line except F4 list with search capability.

CALL PGM(QSYS/QEZSNDMG) 
It is the same as GO ASSIST option 4 to send same message to any number of 
users with F4 to check list of profile text who's who
We have this API inside a CL onto BPCS User Menu for use by folks who have 
not been granted command line authority

This is inside our library of Query CL along with various other stuff for 
BPCS User Menu at bottom of library list as a safety feature in case some 
Power User enthusiast adds some program name that coincides with something 
SSA created.

I thought that GO ASSIST was inappropriate for many users as the attention 
key default, so I tried to change to our general message CL of that API, only 
to find that BPCS has SYS017 for that purpose higher in our library list

CHGPRF ATNPGM(*LIBL/SYS017)
means some places I get SYS017, some places old GO ASSIST, & some places 
nothing happens when I press the attention key ... I tried vanilla menus, 
command line from them, user menus, CALL QCMD from them (which is also 
embedded in one of our BPCS User Menu CL's)  I do not know if SYS017 works 
right from all these places (I suspect not when from command line)
