Re: Help RPG Overlays for 1099's

[CRPence <CRPbottle@xxxxxxxxx>]

  But as Ugo noted in his reply, the Licensed Program Product 5733ID1 
will still need to have been restored (RSTLICPGM) *prior to* the PC 
install activity; i.e. "5733-ID1 Infoprint designer, it must be 
installed on as400 side, then you'll install by executing 
\\youras400\QIBM\ProdData\AFPDesigner\Install\ibminst.exe"  The 
installed Software Resources, as presented in the output from DSPSFWRSC, 
should appear as Rob showed [in the archived message at the following 
link].  That is the pre-requisite to the PC software being 
[re]stored\available at that location in the IFS, per a prior Restore 
Licensed Program request:
<http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/200405/msg00980.html>

  Or similarly, as described on the IBM software website for that product:
<http://www.ibm.com/systems/i/software/print/ipdesignerpreq_i_ww.html>
_InfoPrint Designer for System i_ _Prerequisites_
"... InfoPrint® Designer is installed on IBM System i and then the code 
is downloaded to the design PC. ..."

  An idea... ¿Should be easy enough for somebody with the installed LPP 
to issue a SAVLICPGM into a save file, and then either send that binary 
or make the /file/ available someplace from which the data can be 
downloaded.?  Although lacking the original media, the license keys are 
still required, as is any Proof of Entitlement (PoE) document or an 
electronic Proof of Entitlement (ePoE).  Possibly then, the following of 
Rob's followup replies [to the earlier archived message] might be of 
interest:
<http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/200405/msg00991.html>

  Not sure if the "called IBM" path might be considered a dead-end, but 
FWiW there may be the possibility of retrying or redirecting according 
to something from the following links\quotes:

  From the announcement letter (201-123):
<http://www.ibm.com/common/ssi/rep_ca/3/897/ENUS201-123/index.html>
"...  For ordering, contact:

Your IBM representative, an IBM Business Partner, or IBM Americas Call 
Centers at 800-IBM-CALL (Reference: YE001). ..."

  And from the software page:
<http://www.ibm.com/systems/i/software/print/ipdesignerhome_i_ww.html>
"... E-mail IBM 
<https://www.ibm.com/services/forms/signup.do?source=stg-mail&S_PKG=us-en-po-cm-powersys>
    Find a Business Partner 
<http://www.ibm.com/partnerworld/wps/bplocator/>

or call us at 1-866-883-8901 ..."

  With regard to the product not being available via ESS to download, 
thus apparently unavailable for Electronic Software Delivery (ESD)... By 
inference from announcement letter 211-021, I wonder if changing the 
delivery option to 'ship physical media' might allow the 5733-ID1 
software feature to appear as available for ordering.?  The "February 
24, 2011" revision to "The Ordering information - Registration and 
supply features section" however, did remove the product "5733-ID1 IBM 
Infoprint Designer for iSeries" with Feature number "6486" from the 
list, so very possibly the specified delivery option will be of no help.
