Hi, Try http://www-912.ibm.com/supporthome.nsf/document/20300257. Select "Search Software Problems (APARS)" from the first box w/ drop down arrow; hit go. From the next screen, put in BPCS as the search criteria. Hope this works out.

I was recently on several IBM Support sites looking for this without success. Search specifically for that APAR = no hits. Search for all APAR = many hits but NONE had BPCS in the title. Search for BPCS & I get the cumulative PTFs for V4R4 when printed turn out to be 60 some pages each & I am going blind reading this stuff looking for the word BPCS, but my understanding from the prior discussion was that in addition to the cumulative PTFs, Data Base Group, SQL PTFs, Query PTFs, HIPERS, there were also some that were specifically BPCS so there has got to be another way to find this APAR. Can someone suggest a URL & better search criteria for me to find this? Our BPCS tech support is not from SSA/OSG & my boss seems to think that I ought to be able to find this from the IBM Support Web sites without a call to tech support. Even though we have paid IBM for all sorts of support, I cannot call OS/400 support at the present time because IBM billing has self-destructed again & is unable to send us what we have bought & paid for. I have a sneaking suspicion this may be related to us running an audit of IBM invoices & disputing thousands of dollars in over-charging. IBM supposedly removed the over-charges from their records but I suspect that the fact that we did not pay some invoices IBM not supposed to have billed us might be why they have apparently removed records on what we paid for IBM support, after this was supposedly resolved. one of the IBM site surveys asked what IBM support could do to improve customer satisfaction. My answer: Retire your Invoicing Systems and subcontract to Professional Accountants the task of keeping track of what your customers have bought & paid for. IBM is a Quality Technology & Service Company. Your bag is neither accurate nor intelligible billing.
