Re: Newbie Questions

Hi Dean,
You are absolutely unequivocally correct!  I truly believe that the resistance 
to
sharing information in this field is directly related to the less desirable
aspects of human nature.  Not to mention the 'lack' of popular support for the
AS400 platform in general, I know that I might take 1 week of scratching to 
learn
a simpler way to do something on the AS400, but then after I have learned it I 
am
proclaiming it from the housetops to the other programmers.  Sharing information
is the only way to go.
