John Reda Syncsort Incorporated -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Brian Westerman Sent: Wednesday, December 16, 2009 12:23 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: old manuals Hi, Does anyone still have any copies of the old Syncsort product manuals from before about 1994 to 96? A friend of mine has asked me if I could help locate one for him and I told him that I would post to the forum to see. He said that he is working with a site that is running 1 application on a processor that is quite backlevel and still running syncsort release 3.5 and he is trying to find out where things are and how to use them. I pointed him to the current manuals but he said that while it was better than what he already has (nothing) that it would help him if he had some from about that time. He said that they are apparently using the old Syncsort to parse some data before it goes into a SAS process, apparently (according to him) SAS didn't process large numbers of these types of records very well back then so they apparently use Syncsort to process them in a single pass, (which is the part he needs to alter). Please send me a email if you have one you can spare a copy of.
