I once wrote a little utility (in assembly, of course) that dumped all the HDR/VOL/etc records. It was a swine to debug (overnight processing because I was a student); I had to leave instructions to the operator to "ABEND with core dump" if the tape merely oscillated back and forth (which it did early on). The first time, I got a snotty note from the operator saying that after watching the tape for half an hour he had to kill it; ah, the joys of overnight remote debugging... Later on I became a volunteer operator on the graveyard shift and was able to sneak in the occasional "foreign order". -- Dave --1483753691-1861652026-1586222179=:36443--
