I don't often comment here, but I feel motivated to comment about the 'read the 
manual' comments.  I can't speak for OLD IBM manuals, but I CAN speak for 
current ones.  You are inundated in spurious and unnecessary things in all the 
RIGHT places, but frequently the important information is in very obscure 
places.  AND there is no consistency in where that obscure location is.  This 
is consistent with the typical programmer doc, but still...one can't say 
reading the manual does anything but tell you where the information you need is 
NOT at.  As such, I've given up on IBM manuals 20 years ago.  Can anyone give a 
class on reading current IBM manuals and FIND info(which you don't already 
know, I can find THAT)?
