I would agree - the info center works well, unless you are in Chrome :-)

I know I can be acuse of being subjective, but let me disagree with that:

The search function in Information center works well and It's helpul in
many situations. The OP was searching for a non existing parameter. If he
had followed the advice from another poster he would have found it (just
like I did).

As for the PDF sets, I'm also a big fan and it's probably the second thing
I put on any PC after the OS... In order to get them I need 3 clicks and
this has been so for very long time:
Click 1: access the InfoCenter for the version I'm looking for
Click 2: access the link that says "Download PDF documentation" (send me to
a new page)
Click 3: Click on the right version

Then yes... a couple more clicks to select HTTP download and to accept the
terms.... so... 5 clicks!
For thos of us who spend most of the time with the manuals open, the PDFs
are great, because you'll end up knowing where to look for what you need
(every parameter is in a list on Admin Ref, every SQL command is in a list
on the SQL syntax guide etc... But sometimes I really need the search
facility and for that I prefer the Infocenter.

Having said that, If anyone wants to pick on IBM, I was recently asked why
don't we provide the Redbooks (and why not the documentation sets) on Mobi
(Kindle) and/or ePub formats?
