The problem?
 
(1) You had to add in ANOTHER PRODUCT (5798-FBJ) in order to get the function.
 
(2) Please post for the world the IBM manual number where PROFS file formats
are documented.  The Internet world is documented in the RFC's.  Most of
the rest of the IBM software is documented SOMEPLACE (even if until recently
NETDATA was only in a TSO manual).
 
Not to flame, but I'm sure there are places where punch cards are king too. ;)
