Re: Sources of Info (manuals)

Al Macintyre home PC is now afflicted with the latest WORM ... it struck an 
hour or so before warnings from IBM Midrange_L & others ... this is the first 
computer virus to get thru Al's defenses ... sooner or later it had to happen.

I checked my manuals at the office where I work on a green screen & I could 
only find the ones for S/36 that match what I said.

However, the one you need to get, if you do not already have it
SX41-4720 Progamming Reference Summary 
this is a very compact, almost fit in our pocket (coat pocket perhaps) 
"booklet" with chapters on different kinds of IBM supplied objects, lots of 
APIs, master list of CL commands, good overview on system values, keyword & 
abbreviation summary, IBM files, and 200 page chapter 8 on IBM error messages 
that can be monitored for, organized by the commands that trigger them.

Not what you asked for here, but did ask for earlier, and really critical 
when managing what causes error messages

SC41-4306 Work Management ... really comprehensive on the behind the scenes 
message queues, sub systems, job queues, logging levels, system values

SC41-5206 Base System Operation, Administration, and Problem Handling - we 
have 2 editions, an older one suitable for Green Screen Management & a newer 
one for using Operations Navigator

I also have a booklet from AS/400 magazine - 18 months of AS/400 tips 
reprinted & organized by general topics
