This has not been my day. Part of the feature installation is to ENDSBS
*ALL *IMMED. The easiest way (for me) to be sure everything is restarted
correctly is to re-IPL, which I usually do via PWRDWNSYS with Restart(*Yes).
This time I forgot to change *No to *Yes.
I go to lunch (nice juicy steak with baked potato). When I get back the
console is just sitting there with the cursor in 01/80. I sat there waiting
for the cursor to flip to 01/02, etc. Nothing. Zilch. Nada. Heck I never
take these systems down totally; took me awhile (with a dumb look on my face
while everyone is asking, "When will the system be back?") to figure out
what I had done (or, more properly, not done).
Before that the thing that really worried me was putting the QHLPSYS in the
system library list - and typing the name wrong. Happened to a colleague of
mine once (screwing up the system portion of the library list, that is).
Boy, I scrutinized that three or four times. Fortunately, everyone can sign
on now, which is surprising the way the day has been going.
Hope your Friday is going better than mine. I think I'll go have a drink
now - a stiff one.

I thought that 5722SS1 Option 2 (Online Information) would give me context

re-IPLed the system). That was the only feature code that even vaguely
looked like it would give me what I wanted. Anyway, I deleted it and am
backing up the system as I type.
What feature (or whatever) would I need to install in order to get command
help with F1?
Is library QHLPSYS in your library list?
