not shameless IMHO, a great tool I use first before hitting the books.
to age myself a bit, I remember getting boxes of hard copy, and updates
periodically and was able to update the doc by hand, anyone remember the
| update makes and what pages to remove and replace?
taking that away and replacing it with a ACTION(DOC) update is little to
no help with all the products that now encompass the base
I hope IBM developers are reading, listening, we really need the ability
to update PDF doc, IBM pushed KC to be on our local processors, and HAD
a great tool to get the doc from IBM and update our local copy of the
KC, last I head that's not working? or de funked?
I don't know how this can be done, but I'm sure it can be done via SMP/E
or an outboard tool to update our local doc with any ACTION(DOC) I would
be willing to do what's necessary to create a local repository and
update any cfg file to make this happen locally

To throw in a shameless plug, if you have MVS/QuickRef, much of the IBM and
ISV content is available on your mainframe for instant access, internet or
not, KC up or down, USB plugable, etc. And for our clients, if there is
content we do not currently have that you desire, let us know and we will
do our best to obtain that content and add it to our database.
Prior to becoming a developer for MVS/QuickRef, every shop I worked in as a
s/p had QuickRef. If it didn't when I arrived, it did by the time I left.
I don't know what I would have done without it. It's almost impossible to
keep physical manuals up to date as quickly as software changes.

Yes, that is a very good idea. It would follow the general route in which
progress is made, then undone, and then redone. As JSON api’s to everything
are the fashion nowadays, that would be really welcome to stay updated, by
e.g. having a nightly cronjob that updates the docs databases. If these
were of the tagged variety, we could even generate updated PDFs out of
these. I would be like updating TLS newsletters without catching your
finger in the blue binder!
Best regards,

One thing not mentioned on the thread is the ability to have APIs to
read the IBM document database. If one exists please share. The document
database assumes a human at a browser which is limiting and a supported and
stable API interface would be welcome.

How many online systems have IBM put out there now ?
Just when it's all seems stable it changes and we go around again.
I could mention the stacks of manuals I started with that never went
down :-) but think of the trees.
Damn ! Am I that old ?
I'm gonna download the pdf collection for now.
