Re: Howto get full SRC info

That error sounds suspiciouslly like the error we got when we upgraded our 270 
for v5r1 to v5r2 and it turned out we had a cd-rom in the machine that needed 
to be replaced because it was just having a heck of a time reading from the cd 
and apparently timing out or some sort of anomoly like that


We had 3 ibm ce's out and they all were scratching their heads when it worked 
with the new cd-rom

Antonio,

  You are correct. When the server stops yellow light on an SRC it 
displays word 11 by default. You may then up arrow to word 12 and press 
enter (blue) to display it. Same with 13 etc. Some words may be all 0's. 
Additinally some SRCs populate more words than others so just keep 
pressing up and enter until no more words are available.
