My var retrieved some info on setting up PDF from SB+ report writer for me one time. It was barely legible and not helpful. I was still glad to get it. VAR said they could try and get access for me but hadn't any success in the past...
I never heard back.

Still can't use HTML or PDF from (character based) SB+.

I do recall hearing the VAR angle but my experience with our VAR didn't really support that.

this was discussed in the past at great length! To summarize:

When the U2UG was formed, we petitioned for IBM to open up their knowledge sources. The problem is their vars, some of whom do not want their users to get access (and presumably show up how p*ss p**r their support may be).

So a compromise was reached - if the var agrees, you can get access. Of course, some vars won't - but then you could always buy a single user UV from a sensible and capable var who will. that's probably worth the cost of the material anyway.

it's also one of the reasons we started the U2UG knowledge base - and we're about to launch a Wiki on the same site.

Why doesn't IBM allow access to all information that would help users -
we've already bought the product?
