QUTIL Question

[Deskin, Bob]

For syntax diagrams, try the PowerHouse Handbook (yes Virginia, it's
hardcopy). And before anyone jumps at the chance, there is a project to
update the Handbook with the latest syntax. It will be concurrent with the
next set of PowerHouse releases (and that's all I'm going to say about
schedules).

Hi Neil :)
   I have the manuals on CD ... but when I am trying to figure out the
syntax on a command in Quiz and it keeps going "boom" I immediately type
"help <command>" and hit the return key.... I mean... all I needed last
night was to see a concrete syntax diagram ... like the HP language manual
has.... Tho' as a rookie trying to learn Cognos and Qdesign and such....
some better "more realistic" examples would be nice in the manuals... Tho...
I will definitely be perusing the CD Manuals alot...
