Re: New AS/400 - Fixed Problem with Install Licensed Pgm -- MIDRANGE-L

Debbie,

Being new to AS/400 operations (and it is the slash <G>), be CAREFUL with the
ENDSBS *ALL *IMMED command. Is if FINE to use it for what you did when no one is
on. It is placing the system in a "restricted state". You need this also in 
order
to do a FULL system save. Don't forget and do this once the box is live - it
kills EVERYTHING as far as users go !

Continued good luck. Sounds like you are doing pretty darned good :-)
