Re: Help address for new RPG functions?

[Brian Parkins <goodprophet.bp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Darren, I suspect your method of access is taking you to the "local" 
(built-in) help. This hasn't been updated since 9.6.0.2, I believe. 
You'll also end up in the same place if you navigate,

HELP > HELP CONTENTS

However, if you press F1 as Vernon suggests, this will take you to the 
web-based help (IBM Knowledge Centre) which is up to date.

Very confusing, I admit. (Which is why I always download the latest 
PDF's from the Knowledge Centre and refer to these.)

Brian.
