Re: Documentation / Instructions

[Alister Wm Macintyre <macwheel99@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Suggest you check the archives for past discussions that come up about 
Manuals available for BPCS.

From your expressed interests I think you need to get the BPCS Reference 
manual that explains what all the fields and programs are for, and the BPCS 
Engineering manual that gives real world examples of how to use all that 
stuff, and how the different fields interplay with each other.  We used to 
have the latter, which I passed to our people to use as reference, but they 
lost it.  That is a problem at any company ... balancing between protecting 
the documentation, and letting people use it and abuse it.

Have you looked at the on-line help that outlines what each program does?
You know, call up the program, to just get to the prompt screen, then use 
F1 universal help command then F2 to expand on that then F14 to print it out.

Have you explored the Engineering applications "documents" available from 
menu DOC?
You know, the source members in file BPCSDOC that start with the prefix 
SSARUN with one for each application area, but for engineering you will 
need to look at both the MBM one and the SFC one.  I find that there is a 
wealth of information there, although some of it is duplicated more than I 
am comfortable with.

You might also ask your company's tech support place what kind of 
documentation they can supply you on these programs.
