    Is there a known problem?

    When I try to access it, I am getting no response when I try to drill down to any detail for any topic listed on the left.  I tried HCL, too.  Get "page not found" when trying to navigate to most commands.

    A few days ago, I had a response from a tech support case I had open.  The response included a documentation link.  When I clicked the link, I got, essentiall, a blank screen.

    Very strange.

    Thank you, Art.

    When I click the link, it appears to work.

    Then, I enter "LOTOFILE" in the search bar at the top.

    I get a list of topics on the left side of the screen.

    One of those topics is "LOTOFILE".

    I click on it.

    I get a bunch more topics in a list on the left side of the screen.  (Difficult to understand the structure because there is no indentation, no outline form  to show the structure of the documentation, just a uniform vertical list of topics.)

    Anyway, I click on "LOTOFILE Function" in that list.

    End of the line.  Nothing more happens.  Nada.  Zip.

    Hmm, when I search for LOTOFILE, I get a set of abstracts below the search box with "LOTOFILE function" highlighted. When I click on the first of those, I am taken to:


    The LOToFile function

    A menual page describing the function.

    Maybe I should check with our network guys and see if they have implemented any recent changes.

    Thank you, Art.

     

    Clearing cookies also fixed the problem (as did using a different browser).

     

    I should have thought of that, first.

    I tried the link in "Edge" (I had been using Firefox), and it works.  I also note that Firefox updated on April 7, and I have been having problems all week.

     

    Sorry to have bothered you fine folks.
