Their answer: "On IBMLink 2000 there is no selection by product id. You are expected to= know the current level of the product for which you are ordering." I am required by my management to check current levels of all my products= monthly. All I can think of at the moment is to open an incident for each= product once a month. Any other suggestions? What else did IBM throw away in moving to IBMLink 2000?
