Re: your complaint of the day, I did some investigation. We moved the HLASM documentation out of the z/OS V2R2 KC and now instead point to the HLASM KC (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSENW6). This is to prevent duplication, etc. However, while evidence of the HLASM documentation was removed from the z/OS V2R2 KC TOC, it seems that the topics themselves are still floating around in our KC.

All I can say is: ignore them until they're properly removed. For current HLASM documentation, instead go to the HLASM KC. I'm sorry that this means that the release drop-down that you like so much is useless in this case, but at least you can successfully enjoy it with most other elements!

Hi Paul(Gil?),

That's great to hear that KC works on Midori! It's always nice to have a
surprise that's pleasant every once in a while...

But that shouldn't need to be a surprise.  Heed Tim Berners-Lee:

Regarding your wishes:

o That ToC sidebar should have resize handles, vertically so I can
see more
  lines at once, and horizontally so I can see more of the docment
titles.
I (Firefox) see a vertical resize bar to make the TOC frame wider -

Ah! I found it.  It's nearly invisible; very few pixels wide.

perhaps try a different browser. There's no horizontal resize bar, just

Tim Berners-Lee

o String searches work in that sidebar, but it doesn't scroll to make the
  search target visible.  Sheesh!

Yes, I agree that that's annoying. The issue is actually already known,
so we'll hope for a resolution soon. In the meantime, at least the

Breathlessly awaiting.

search target is highlighted and its path is expanded in the TOC, so
just scroll down until you see the highlighted, expanded topic to orient
yourself.

That does help.


o When I follow a link to a topic, then return to the parent page with browser
  "Back" control, it should show that parent page scrolled to the point where
  I left it, as most sites do, not scrolled to the top as KC does.

Yes, this is another annoyance that is known and hopefully resolved
soon. It's a pain, but, if you've scrolled in a topic and don't want to
re-scroll when you return to it, the best thing to do for now is to just
open links in new tabs/windows and return to the original tab/window
when you're done.

I do that whenever I remember.  It's frustrating when I forget.  IIRC, at the
inception of KC, "Back" didn't work at all.  I wonder what possessed the
developers to break it, then only partially repair it.  Better they should
have left it alone.

Complaint of the day:  At page:

    z/OS
    z/OS 2.1.0
    HLASM
    HLASM Programmer's Guide
    Assembling your program on z/OS
    Input and output data sets

... the header shows the full hierarchy path as shown.  If I switch
to 2.2 (good feature; thanks!), it shows only two levels:
    z/OS
    z/OS 2.2.0

... What happens to the rest?

Thanks again,
gil
