RE: Changing System Name

[Neil Palmer <npalmer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mike,

I've been meaning to ask you about this for a few weeks.  Can you
explain further how you did this ?
When I press F18 on WRKDIRE simply shows you a Directory Location, used
within OfficeVision, and nothing to do with a name used by PC's when
connection to the 400.

        Walden,

        This can be done.  If you do WRKDIRE and then press F18, you can
specify
        the the name you want the  PC's to see in the Directory Entry
Location. 
        The entry you make there should be whatever is referenced as the
remote
        system on all of your PC's.

        We have four AS/400's setup this way currently.

        HTH,
