RE: System i for dummies

Hi, Rob:

Tell that to my BlackBerry running Idokorro Mobile SSH. That (and 
Robot/Alert which isn't relevant to this discussion) have given my freedom 
back in the evening. I am loathe to depend on anything that requires 
multiple screens. Of course, I don't lug reference manuals around with me 
either [grin]. But I DO have some key PDFs available via the Web (my own 
site, personal access only).

Mostly, I simply don't LIKE the limited display that results from using F1 
on a prompted command. For example, CRTDUPOBJ requires eight screens just 
to get to the error messages, which fill all or part of three screens. For 
me that makes it inelegant, and for me therefore inefficient.

I think it is quite efficient.  Most times, when I need to know what 
messages to monitor I am in an editor adding the command.  No big deal 

to 

prompt it and get the answer.  Unless your editor of choice is EDTF.
If you don't like that then dump your single session proprietary 

terminal 

and get a PC that can support multiple 5250 sessions.

Hi, Jeff:

This procedure is useful, certainly. But compared to a book (or a PDF 

file 

for that matter) it has all of the efficiency and elegance of the old 

DOS 

games that emulated graphics by displaying custom characters on an 80x25 

char screen [grin]. And there are some circumstances when it just isn't 
practical to stop what you are doing to prompt a command.

Howdy Larry,
 You can prompt on SAVOBJ, move your cursor off of all of the input
fields, press F1, and scroll to the very bottom.  All of the error 

codes

are listed there.

Good Luck,
Jeff
