Re: What to teach someone new to IBMi

I would show them how to look at jobs, joblogs, etc. Work with printer
writers.

WRKACTJOB (or whatever), put a 5 next to the job, 10, f10, f18. 11 for
call stack. Look at record locks, etc.

I used to work with the Boy Scouts. Whenever our office had a 'cleanup
day' I'd scour the waste baskets and pluck out the full binders and turn
them into empty binders. The Scout office had empty binders almost
forever!

Seems no one in our office realized that you can actually empty out a
binder, put a new title on it, and use it again!

Because if you've priced new 3 ring binders...
I donated most of the empty binders in a timely fashion. Kept a dozen or
so (we sure have the space).

I dumped at least 50 IBM 3-ring binders (all empty) this past Monday.
Don't know why I've been keeping them the past 10+ years.

How long ago was that? I don't remember the last time I saw an IBM
manual!

I think we have several of the -binders- around, but the contents were
outdated around v6!

When I found people were limiting their development to what could be
found
in the paper manuals I removed them all after hours and inserted them
into
the dumpster.

Infocenter has a "What's New" section and even each section (languages,
Db2, etc) have their own "What's new" sections. And they are updated at
TR, or group, or on a whim.
