The measure of weight is a kgf. Kilogram force. It is a kilogram multiplied by 9.8 (gravity force). But in shorthand we say kilogram. On Wed, Jul 22, 2020, 15:36 Pommier, Rex wrote: > A kilogram may not technically be a weight, but if not the whole world, at > least a large percentage of the wo

"Lb Foot is not a measure of pressure" ... correct. It is a measure of torque. A pound-foot (lbf⋅*ft*) is a unit of torque (a pseudovector). One pound-foot is the torque created by one pound of force acting at a perpendicular distance of one foot from a pivot point. Conversely one pound-foot is th

I dont think you'll find such a thing. I always thought IBSYS/IBJOB were the predecessors of DOS/360, and DOS/360 was written as a temporary holdover to run on the 360 until OS was ready, because OS was completely new implementation of things on the new machine (i.e. a completely new OS). Joe O

Well... The first thing youve got to do is fix your edit macro. When you run an edit macro in batch, it has to end with "ISREDIT END". So, you might have two different versions, one for batch and one for online. Second, when you run ISREDIT in batch, you have to use a macro to supply the input.
