Shopzseries is great (again once you find it, I gave up bookmarks on
IBM sites awhile back) and so is:
RECEIVE SYSMODS HOLDDATA
ORDER(ORDERSERVER(ORDSRVR)
CONTENT(ALL))
DELETEPKG.
Of course, this is even more retrograde, I mean who ever heard of doing
something in batch :))
Ibmlink Web may do 4 times what VM did (I doubt), but it doesn't do what
I need nearly as fast or as nicely many more clicks than I ever hit
enter or a pfkey. And it is slow.
