Jill until you get the full spectrum of 400 manuals, some of us have various downloads that might be helpful to pass along to you, such as Al Barsa's "Everything you always wanted to know about SYSTEM VALUES but no one ever told you." You may see some reference to RED BOOKS. There are two kinds of IBM Manuals ... what we might call the blue & white OLD standards, and the RED BOOKS. The difference is that the old standard books are written by the developers of some product ... the Basic Backup Manual is like that. These manuals tend to be focused on a narrow range of IBM stuff ... one programming language, one job function The RED BOOKS are written by real people out in the field, who see what real people are struggling with trying to do ... you need to do X, here is how to get the job done, using whatever tools it takes to get the job done productively An example of a RED BOOK in our collection is SG 24-4994 400 Operations Navigator User Guide We have a few other RED BOOKs that I not consider appropriate for a Newbie Most of our manuals are the old standard ... we have about 50 of them. The ones that we have that I think would be of greatest value to beginners in the kind of position described in your posts, would be: That poster on backup that I mentioned in another post SC41-3200 400 System Operation for New Users SC41-5161 Getting 400 Working for You SC41-5206 Basic 400 Operation, Administration, and Problem Handling SC41-3300 Tips & Tools for Securing your 400 SX41-3720 almost pocket sized (will fit in a handbag) reference list of all 400 commands, among other things SC41-3721 CL Bible ... if you write your own custom backup routines, they will probably be in the CL language SC21-8384 Operator Tasks Multiple OS Although we no longer have 36 this might have some relevance to you since the section on 400 OS is written aimed at someone who is an IT expert but not on the 400 SA21-9656 Planning and Reference Handbook (36 world info that has mild 400 relevance) SC09-1771 ADTS/400 PDM ... the editor is very intuitive to those of us who have been on the 400 & its prior machines for years, but someone coming from another platform might have a bit of trouble with the search engine, how to compare two source members for differences, how to compile things, what are all these options Note that the # on most of these is 41-something. I think 4 means OS/400 version 4 I think you might want the 51 version of these MacWheel99@aol.com (Alister Wm Macintyre) (Al Mac) BPCS 405 CD Manager / Programmer @ Global Wire Technologies Incorporated http://www.globalwiretechnologies.com = new name same quality wire engineering company: fax # 812-424-6838
