In my experience, fewer new sysprogs know about IEBUPDTE because they have no need to run it on their own. Serverpac creates jobs that many newer people just submit and if they get the desired return code have no idea what they ran because they never scroll through the job. So even if Serverpac or some other installation step runs IEBUPDTE, they just submit it and if it works never know what they did. The guiding hand should be there, at least enough to complete the task.
Those who already know how to do something can skip over material they do not need. Those who do not know how to do something get annoyed when they have to go track down other manuals to complete what should be a simple task. Anything to document what you need while you are doing it is going to help the newer people. >On Wed, 13 Jun 2007 21:00:37 -0500, Ed Gould <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >Its an idea but a suggestion might be in order here.
