Hi,

That was a custom command added for JD Edwards back in 1999 and was used for load testing. It hooked into the Mercury LoadRunner product and allowed them to create rendezvous points for multiple concurrent scripts.

That function didn't do anything in the regular version. In fact it shouldn't really have been added to the public history as it causes confusion.

That load testing version is no longer supported anyway. So, don't worry about it. It is meaningless unless you have heard of LoadRunner and even then does nothing in the regular version anyway.

Thanks for the explanation.

I would suggest then that it be removed from the "Command Locator" so that others are not confused by a command which really doesn't exist anymore.

I suspect there are other obsolete commands, as I remember looking in the "command locator" sometime in the past, and finding other entries which had no cooresponding entry in the help file.
