Re: APIs was Last RRN

Dave, consider loading the eval version of Code/400 on your machine, or 
even order the CD and load it on your workstation at client sites.  The 
full manuals are there and very easy to use.  Start Code/400, open a 
session for the manual that interests you, then hit the help button and 
choose the concept or the reference manual and search it.  There's no need 
to actually write code or connect to the AS/400 to get the manuals on line 
and running.

One of the things that really bugs me is that some of the clients don't 
even have manuals, or if they do, they are old RPG II or RPG III type 
manuals. How anyone can effectively run an IS department without any 
current manuals is beyond me.  What I have done is load the complete Book 
Manager CD on my laptop with bookshelves for most frequently used 
books.  If I want to see some detail about an op code, just bring up the 
ILE/RPG manual and search.  The search usually brings up exactly what I am 

looking for.  The Book Manager manuals are terrible to read through, but 
seem to work for looking up something you sort of know about.  I will have 

to start trying something new for this now that they are moving all the 
manuals to the Info Center.  I have not been too impressed with the Info 
center so far.
