Re: System API reference

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are other problems with the separate PDFs - internal links work fin, 
but external ones often do not. E.g., the link for "Error code parameter" 
points at some HTML page that is never going to be on your system - it's on 
the server where the Internet version of the PDF is located. But that item 
is in the ILE Concepts PDF that you can get with the others.

Nonetheless, a couple ideas comes to mind -

1. Use the full version of Acrobat to combine those smaller PDFs into one 
big one. If a person really wanted to work too hard, the useless links 
could be fixed - or just ignore them.

2. Again, use full Acrobat to generate a search index for a set of books. 
This is a 'way cool way to handle looking for stuff. IBM used to (v3r2 
vintage) include suc indexes with its manuals on CD when it first started 
to move away form BookManager format. They were fantastic.

BTW, I have the full version from V4R4. Here is a link to the V4R4 online 
library that is still out there
