RE: API documentation

["Shaw, David" <dshaw@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

These courses are easily justified for programmers whose primary
responsibility is writing system utilities, however they are very difficult
to justify for those of us who are tasked mainly with making sure the
inventory/payroll/AP/AR/GL/etc. application runs.  If we use an API more
complex than QCMDEXC it's a red-letter day anyway, but the pain involved in
doing that once or twice a year is a serious dissuader for us.  This is
where such a document would be most helpful.

Forgive the "plug" - but there ARE classroom training courses available to
address this very point.
