| FYI
|
| Here's IBM's reply (edited a bit for brevity) to my question asking where
| the V5R1 PTF is, and their reply, and my reply to their reply.
| I dunno - I hope I didn't speak out of line and didn't mean to imply
| everyone (or the majority) on the list feel this way.
| Maybe I'm wrong here  ???
|

| ================================
| Where is the V5R1 equivalent PTF for V4R5 PTF SF64187 (apar SA68939) ?
| There has been a PTF for this function all the way back to around V2R3.
|
|
| Hi Rochester,
|   Is there an R510 PTF for apar SA68939??  The APAR says a customizable
| feature may be created in a future release but I cannot find anything
| regarding this either.
|   Thanks.
|
|
| I spoke with xxxxxx and learned that he has not been planning on
| creating an PTF for this at release level 510 and later.  This is based
| on the addition of a new list open files API that is used by Operations
| Navigator at R510.  To get to to this new feature do the following:
| 1) select an AS/400 system that is running on R510
| 2) select the Work Management container for that system
| 3) Select Active Jobs
| 4) Right clic on the job of interest
| 5) Left clic on Open Files under Details
| 6) Using the bottom bar one can move right to see the additional fields.
| 7) Using Options/Columns you can add two additional columns that are not
| initially included in the display.
| --------------------
| Do hope that this will be acceptable for the customer.
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------
| Well, that's nice to know, but the consensus from many AS400/iSeries
| professionals on Midrange-L (and elsewhere) is that there's no way in
| h**l they are going to use a PC as a system console, and this feature is
| required there.  They won't use a PC running one of the world's most
| UNreliable operating systems to control a REAL computer running one of
| the world's most reliable operating systems.  I fully agree with that.
| Don't misinterprete that though.   OpsNav IS wonderful, we really DO
| appreciate it, and we DO use it, but NOT at a system console.  That's
| stays Twinax for now (at least until OpsNav can run on something that
| does not require Microsoft's Windows !).
| SO - we do want a V5R1 PTF for this.
