Boy, the stories that I could tell, such as card decks being sticky-taped together, paper tape stuck to the spool, etc... And the time that I switched off the 029 keypunch printer to not print the "PRI=6" JCL, thereby screwing up the operator's disk schedule... I got my deck back, unsubmitted, with the job card torn into a neat spiral. I actually met him at a DECUS conference, and he was most amiable about it. And no, it doesn't look like a /50 console to me. -- Dave --1483753691-1857013982-1552441068=:69634--
