Wylbur Retirement Wiki Available

There is now a wiki available (at http://wylretire.cit.nih.gov) that provides information on non-Wylbur substitutes for various Wylbur commands and how to convert your Wylbur (edit) format data sets to a format which can be used outside of Wylbur. To learn more about wikis see the article “Kiwi Wiki Service Now a Full Production Service” in Interface 242.

Keep track of information

CIT staff members are adding new information to the wiki all the time, so keep checking back for additional topics and replacement options to help users find substitutes for Wylbur functions. There are often many replacements for a single Wylbur function. ISPF “power users” may have their own favorite shortcuts to carry out a function, such as getting information about a data set (Wylbur’s SHOW DSNAME command). So, while the wiki offers suggestions, there is not necessarily a single “right” way to replace a popular Wylbur command. To learn more about ISPF, sign up for an ISPF training class at http://training.cit.nih.gov?108-09S.

Add your comments

We invite visitors to the wiki to add their comments/suggestions to the discussion areas of the wiki. Just click on the discussion tab at the top of each article. No wiki login is needed. Our staff will be monitoring the discussion areas to get input from other Wylbur users on how to improve the Wylretire wiki content.
