Its not that many people are scared of the manuals. I find that in general, like most of IBM Manuals (whether mainframe or AS/400), you need to know what you are looking for before you know where to look. There have been occasions I have searched through numerous IBM manuals on the internet, (especially for API's ) only to be told that the information Im searching for, resides in a particular manual I would never have considered. I have even called IBM's support line asking for directions to which manual I need to review, and on a couple of occasions, its taken them some time to come up with an answer. >>> Colin Williams <Williamsc@technocrats.co.uk> 05/05 4:45 AM >>> Definitely agree with you there. Many people are scared of the manuals, for some reason? -----Original Message----- From: boldt@ca.ibm.com [mailto:boldt@ca.ibm.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 1999 8:27 PM To: RPG400-L@midrange.com Subject: Re: Array question Rob wrote: >I really don't feel that we've answered the original question yet. Hmmm, I thought I did yesterday when I referred the poster to Chapter 9 of the ILE RPG Reference manual! Can anyone program effectively (in any language) without being intimately familiar with the manuals? Knowing how (and when) to read a manual is probably the most important thing a student of programming can learn. Cheers!
