RE: EDI for AS/400

["Leland, David" <dleland@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We're implementing Harbinger's EDI/400.  Working well. It's a full
service package - communications, etc.  Just one thing - I thought I
could just hit the manuals and learn it.  Didn't work.  You definately
need to take advantage of their classes.  I sent a programmer to the
basic and advanced and it cost less than $1,500.  Well worth it.
