Re: Restoring source

[MacWheel99@xxxxxxx]

You did not say what the error was ... I get this all the time from my users
They do not tell me what the error message was & they sign off without 
capturing a job log (SIGNOFF *LIST is how they should do it when we need 
one)... very often when we go to second level help there is information about 
what the problem was.

I normally do my tape manipulations from the OS/400 command line.
CALL QCMD then F10 gives me my job log at the same time as more commands
Place the cursor on error message on screen or on job log then F1
This takes me to 2nd level help detail explanation of the error message

Usually the problem is obvious at that point, once you are able to get past 
the IBM jargon
