Re: What Version of Service Pack for OS/400, etc ???

Thanks Neil,

I DUG through the C/A site and while there is a lot of GOOD stuff there, there
are also some real HOLES in information... :-)

I did a SNDPFTORD for the C/A update AND another one for the OS cum. That just
further confuses things though that IBM DOESN'T include the C/A revs on the OS
cum...

We were still on V3R6 where I left and buried and behind on just about 
EVERYTHING
it seemed and C/A updates via the new V3R1M?, etc. was something on my list. Did
have C/A running on NT on a notebook via TCP/IP !!! <BG>
