Philip,

I tried that and the reports are blank/empty.  I am at a loss for an
explanation except maybe...

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a
dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle
ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it
lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is
the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

Joe,

I never tried reports or printing in SysDef before, but wanted to check it
out.  I found that the Utility Reports are not that useful, as they just
list what is possible and not what is configured.  However, if I go to Print
Preview when I have Parameter Definition open, I think it shows the listing
you are looking for.  The same goes for Software Definition.  You don't need
to actually run a report to get the info.  Try that and see if it matches
the old versions of reports you have.

Thanks,

I get all those details plus in a report on my other projects; who hosts
what/who, sysmon, software pkgs for each host, etc. Everything I see on the
displays. Where did I get them from? I can send a copy off list, I checked
them earlier for clues before I read the manual. Nothing in the manual...

Is this a dream...
