I'm pretty sure that Jerry Ng covered IPCS at SHARE. I don't have links for his diagnostic presentations.

Would that more such point-and-shoot products were available, or even better were FOSS products. <*Sigh*> Not in this lifetime, I know. Folks have to earn a living after all. Has anyone thought to put together an IPCS "cookbook" with sets of commands to get information useful to an application programmer together in one place (like Barbara's "here's-the-traceback-from-your-transaction-dump" example)? People can educate themselves, but they do need guidance from expert users to help them get started. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
