Re: Debug question (Finance 7.5)

[Peter Clark <PGCLARK@VAC-ACC.GC.CA>]

Allen,

I am sorry that you found our comments out of line. Had you not made two 
postings very close together that seemed to portray to us the impression that 
you perceive that all SQR users are also PeopleSoft users, I doubt that either 
of us would have commented. This is an issue that has bothered many in this 
list over the nearly three years I have been on the list as it seems to come up 
repeatedly. Had Denise and I not commented, the liklihood is that someone else 
would have.

It has been my observation that most subscribers to SQR-Users who are 
PeopleSoft users also belong to the PeopleSoft-Fans mail list, posting SQR 
related questions here and PeopleSoft related questions there. While there are 
many SQR-User subscribers who are knowledgeable in PeopleSoft (50%? 60%?), it 
only makes sense that the chances of getting an answer to a PeopleSoft related 
problem are much greater in a forum where ALL of the subscribers are PeopleSoft 
users (and where, according to my perception at least, there are a great deal 
more subscribers). Even in the PeopleSoft-Fans group there are many SQR related 
questions and often they are referred to this list if appropriate.

I apologize for my frustration that people sometimes can't seem to "get it". I 
guess that I simply should have referred you to the PeopleSoft-Fans list as a 
place that you would be more likely to get an answer and left it at that.

Peter, Denise, This message was directed to SQR-users  who are also familiar
with P/S finance in general, of which there are many. I do not appreciate
sarcastic comments from people like you who seem to think their job in life
is to 'police' the board and then attack anyone who who commits the
unpardonable sin of posting a non-sqr question. Get a life.

Peter, Denise, etal,
I wouldn't be so quick as to pulling the trigger on those who post perceived
"Peoplesoft" questions in this forum.  There have been many times where
during
the course of writing SQRs, I refer back to the application.  For example,
when
I do a load from flatfiles, I almost always refer back to the panel(s) for
the
fields which require populating as well as for validation/translation
purposes.
 Perhaps that is what Mr. Cunningham is attempting to do?
SQRly yours,
Sam
