ok, Here is a challenge: Do not use a bookmark. Start with www.ibm.com. Give me the address that I can click on that answers the question I asked. Also give the entire route that you used. Please do it on dialup. How many clicks? How many searches? what did you search on? How many minutes? --------------------------------------------------------- Booth Martin http://www.MartinVT.com Booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------- -------Original Message------- From: RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries Date: Monday, August 18, 2003 1:16:55 PM To: RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries Subject: Re: replacing characters using %subst Shannon, You're right. It is frustrating when they move stuff around. But you're also quite right that for looking up basic syntax in the ILE RPG manual is not really hard.

I've always had good luck finding answers to questions such as your basic syntax question pretty easily in the info-center. However, I do feel your pain as far as IBM pages moving around, book marks disappearing and so on. That's been an ongoing problem for years. It's readily apparent that the folks who run/manage IBM's content for their website are not actual users of the information. If they were, they'd see that links don't work, or they'd recognize how annoying it is to bookmark a useful page and then go back to it a month later only to discover that the page has dissapeared, been renamed or merged with a new page.
