Requirements

• OS/400 V4R3 or higher
• Each user must have a unique user profile.
• Each user must have a personal library (same as user profile).
• The cb/400 objects (5) must be restored to the personal library of each cb/400 user.

installation instructions

• Download the save file to a temporary directory (c:\temp will be used in the example).
• Create a save file named CB400 on the AS/400 in the library of your choice (QGPL will be used in the example).
  
  CRTSAVF FILE(QGPL/CB400)
  
  
• Open a DOS window and change the directory to the temporary directory.
  
  cd c:\temp
  
  
• In the same DOS window, use the 'ftp' command to send cb400.svf to CB400 on the AS/400.  Be sure to use the 'bin' command to change to binary mode. Here is a sample FTP session:
  
  C:\temp> ftp dev400
  Connected to dev400.
  220-QTCP at AS400.
  220 Connection will close if idle more than 5 minutes.
  User (192.168.1.123:(none)): userid
  331 Enter password.
  Password: XXXXX
  230 USERID logged on.
  ftp> bin
  200 Representation type is binary IMAGE.
  ftp> put cb400.svf qgpl/cb400
  200 PORT subcommand request successful.
  150 Sending file to member SAVF in file CB400 in library QGPL.
  250 File transfer completed successfully.
  (958848 bytes sent in 19.82 seconds 48.39 Kbytes/sec)
  ftp> quit
  221 QUIT subcommand received.
  
  
• On the AS/400, restore the objects into the library of each user to run CB/400.
  
  RSTLIB SAVLIB(CB400) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(QGPL/CB400) RSTLIB(userlib)
  
  
• Each user may then run CB/400 out of his/her own library by entering the command CB.
• If you currently have a version higher than 1.002, you only need to restore objects CB400R, CB400D and CB400DW to one of the user libraries. cb/400 running from other libraries will recognize the new version and follow the installation settings in each user's personal options.
