RE: Retrieving a system value

["Gary L Peskin" <garyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ken --

I haven't quite figured out the correspondence between the Toolbox
releases and PTFs versus the JTOpen releases except that the toolbox is
pretty far behind JTOpen.  There is a table built in the SystemValueList
class that contains the allowable system values for each release -- the
class doesn't just rely on what is present on the 400.  So, if you're
using an older version of the SystemValueList class, it won't have the
QPWDLVL value in the table.  Another test would be to try QMAXJOB which
was put into the table in the same release.

I see that the download site is down.  The IBM site, in general, seems
to be kinda screwed up because all links to http://www.as400.ibm.com/...
seem to not be working either.
