RE: Files & field layouts

["Jones, Steve" <SJones@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have two Excel spreadsheets for XA3 that contains the file flowcharts for
COM.  If anyone is interested in receiving them, email me at the address
below and I will send them to you.  The only thing it is missing are the
lines connecting the files together, but what do you expect from an AS/400
person. :-)

        I recall seeing one of the messages in this thread referring to
ERLCOMv
        (where v is the XA version number).  If you access the COM Database
Overview
        via the hotkey F9, it will give the equivalent of the nifty
flowchart for
        the Open Database side.  Be aware that it does not give the
corresponding
        info on the COM History database.

        I have copies of both the COM Order Database and the History
Database and
        find them to be absolutely irreplaceable when working on support
programs.
        I will offer my time and effort to copy them to either a Word or
Excel file
        if anyone would like to receive them directly as attachments.
