Re: Advanced 36 & POP

[Neil Palmer <neilp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Al,

To prompt a command (procedure) on the S/36 you would key the procedure 
name and press HELP (or type the word HELP followed by the procedure 
name).

PS - Honestly - IBM couldn't care less what yo do with your old S/36 
manuals.  I don't see what Ethics has to do with disposing of them.

I checked with my boss on the ETHICAL question & he agreed with my first 
thought to play it safe & not push the IBM license envelope.  I have some 
manuals not purchased from IBM (that ethical question not apply) and also 
some that my boss of the time never reimbursed me for (sometimes when an 
expenditure is not authorized, I buy it anyway because I want to know the 
stuff)

Would you be interested in a 1989 manual "Writing and using S/36 
proceudres 
effectively" (OCL) 115 pages by Gale Barnett & Charlie Massoglia or "S/36 
disk sort as a programming language" 65 pages by Charlier Massoglai?

Manuals to add to list
You know OS/400 has a pocket sized "crib sheet" for people with big 
pockets :)
SX41-4720 "AS/400 Programming Reference Summary" listing object types; IBM 

supplied; system values; APIs; commands; error messages; REXX; DDS 
keywords; 
& so forth

S/36 also had similar "crib sheet"
SC21-9024 "S/36 procedures and commands summary" illustrating syntax; S/36 

regular commands vs. control commands (vs. stuff in JOBQ, spool file, 
messages etc.)
