I'm looking at the doc on this and the rules on how it works are not clear. I would appreciate the help of an expert on this. The doc has an example of 3 files and it shows each iteration in the processing and which files are "available" or N/A. File 1 key 3A is available twice - iterations 3

Where are you seeing the example in the documentation? The easiest way to avoid trouble is: never do more than a 2 way file sync in Easytrieve. 1 or 2 file syncs are easy to understand and work with. I've been coding Easytrieve since even before it was Easytrieve Plus. I have *never* done a 3

This has been interesting. As a long-time VMer, I'd note that in VM-land, there is of course no SMP/E and things are a bit different. "APAR" and "PTF" kind of get used interchangeably, though there is recognition that they're not the same. But typically a VMer will say "I need APAR VM20779",

The card punch machines I used would punch each character as you typed it, rather than buffer and punch card at the end of the line. So, you had to type *perfectly*. A single mistake meant throw out the card. Or save it for bookmarks and grocery lists. I like to ask the new people I work with
