UNTIL I want the specific rc/rsn for an IDC3009I which is somewhere between 
pages 299 and 573 in the iea3m602.pdf and since almost every other IDC message 
references IDC3009I, the search in the pdf is pretty useless.




Exactly, it all depends on what your current need is. Are you looking for the 
explanation of message, or do you need to understand a specific macro 
parameter, or function parameter, etc.? Google, IBM KC, browser interface is 
often an efficient and effective choice. Are you in need to understand a 
concept, how does something work, etc.? One or more books are often to be 
consulted, and whole section or chapters have to be read. Books, be it paper or 
eBooks, is the choice.


So, IBM, and other vendors, need to understand that both variants are required.
