RE: COOL

I think you mean "COLD" which is "Computer Output to Laser Diak". Basically,
you write all your reports to CD or magnetic-optical disc to relieve disk
space on the host system. There are several AS/400 native offerings (we use
RVI). Brad Jenson has a PC-attached solution. Hardware costs can be as cheap
or expensive as you want (simple PC with CD burner, or IBM 3995 optical
jukebox tower). Most often used for semi- to permanent archival of reports,
where it must be "proved" the reports have not been altered.

Hi All,

I'm looking for a little information about COOL. I understand that it is
some sort of report archiving / retrieval system. I need to "send some
reports to COOL". Mechanically, how does one go about this?

Murali.
