  • Subject: Re: Old AS/400

Thanks for the information.  I successfully used PWRDWNSYS.
Also, DSPOBJD (which ran for about 10 mins. -- I thought it was broke!)
indicates that the system is at level 2.1.

I ordered some AS/400 manuals from Amazon.com; will these newer manuals be
of any help with such an old operating system?  Will some things work as
documented (will ANY?).

Next question:  how do I display what disks are on the system, their volume
IDs, and what libraries they have on them?  Remember, I'm coming from a Wang
minicomputer, which resembles the AS/400 in many ways, but has a much more
user friendly interface:  you just press "manage disks", then pick the
volume you want, then the library from that volume.

Thanks,

Bob Sitko
