Re: ibm i 7.1 technical overview

I think Birgitta had posted something about field procedures at one time 
earlier this year, check the archives.

The OVRPRTF to PDF works great but I haven't looked to see what happens 
when you select the option to look at the output files (or even if it 
shows that there are output files).  I'll have to try that....
