Re: Pick Release/Pick Confirm

[andrew_murphy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Andrew Murphy)]

We had exactly the same problem on 6.0.02. We didn't think that training the
users not to use F6 was sufficient as mistakes would still occur so we
modified the AS/SET programs to remove the F6 logic. Now we normally use F15 -
Release by line.
