Re: New Features/Commands Per VxRx?

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Cool, glad this helps. I also just remembered that there is still the 
AS/400 Online Library, which has stuff back to V4R1 for sure. Start at 
<http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/online/homeeng1.htm>. From 
there, the link to the V4R1 library is 
<http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/online/v4r1eng.htm>. And you 
can try substituting, say, 'v3r7' for the 'v4r1' - it worked for me, 
although a lot of the material is no longer available. That would then be 
<http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/online/v3r7eng.htm>.

In the earlier libraries, I think you'll need to go to the individual 
manuals, if they are accessible, and check the "What's New" section of 
each. A history channel special is upcoming, right?

Good luck
Vern
