Hi Vern,
 
Ok I agree with your points.
 
Can some one explain why I got below answer when my question was pretty straight forward.
Actually I was looking for a logic not the complete code if some explains the logic that's more than enough.
At the end of the I'm going to face my manager/Employer for the work that he assigned to me.
 
A fresher will ask a entry level questions only what you expect from him, obviously it will take time to gain knowledge. I'm not going to steal/snatch  any one job here I just started my career...

Or perhaps a signature line like,
"John Mathews' IT offshoring may cause disruptive U.S. job layoffs in
the near term but the burgeoning middle class in Bangalore, India, will
be a future export market for U.S. because we will buy American-made
goods"

Hi John

Thank you for saying more about yourself - that really helps in any
forums like this.

I would not say your questions look stupid. They just seem very brief,
with not much background. People on these lists - all of them - have
busy lives, so a question with no context is not going to be looked at
well. Why should anyone go to the work it takes to dig out important
details? This just clogs up the forum with unhelpful posts.

This isn't just this group or just me being an unfriendly guy! The
webpage on asking good questions says much the same thing.

So I suggest using more words - your recent question about JDE - maybe
your boss asked you to look into this - if it's OK to tell us that
without violating some company policy, it's helpful to do that. And say
something about where you've looked, or that you have no clue!

If someone is a student, I think we would be OK with giving some help,
IF that person were open enough to say they are a student. I dare say,
no student is going to ask questions about JDE!!

In summary, please keep asking questions. Just give the group some
context - use more than 1 sentence.

I've been on these lists for maybe 18 years - yikes! I know more now
than I did then, and much of that I owe to the generous people on these
lists. And I've even been privileged to meet some of them. This truly is
a community helping each other. That's one reason I guess I'm sensitive
to anonymous posts and posters. Still, that's probably my issue.

Someone may have put the link to the asking-questions document. That
document has been really helpful to me, so I don't recommend it out of
spite or any other unhelpful motive. It's tone can be a bit harsh, but
it makes very helpful points, which will net you better responses in a
group like this.

I just took a look at the document again - here's a quote I liked -

"Odds are you'll screw up a few times on hacker community forums"

We all have. But it's important to learn, not give up, be encouraged,
all that good stuff.

So, here it is again - http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

I think we're all about learning how to fish, not giving someone a
pre-cooked fish stick.

Cheers
Vern

Hi David,
 
The forum is really helpful to the AS/400 user's appreciate your hard work patience to build the forum.
and yes as we all know the forum has got a world wide recognition.
I respect you all for giving the support what ever I have learnt so far yes its defiantly from Midrange
Forum and of course Rob.
 
However I would know below few things
 
      Is this forum is only for experienced person?
      Is this forum is only for a particular country?
 
  If so please let me know I will unsubscribe from midrange.
 
I just started my career in AS/400 and most of the queries which I
ask looks stupid to experience persons. Well we all started our career at some point of time so I started it now ..that's it

I still believe Midrange its a pure technical discussion forum so any one can raise the quires irrespective of senior or junior...

John

John Mathew,
Depending on your definition of "is JD Edwards installed correctly".

Do you see a message on your screen that says something is broken?
Maybe your implementation team's spending $2 million on JD Edwards was
the wrong decision.
Maybe you should
  switch to SAP, which can be installed for $5 million.
