I do; in fact, they inspired me to send a song[1] for the sing along.
The boss said that he understood why I would want to wait
A week or two to run the PUT, but not six months or eight
He made me do a mass APPLY, but later said to me
The reason for the long delay I now begin to see!
Mañana, mañana, mañana is soon enough for me.
I once installed a FUNCTION, with grief it filled my cup
It had a lot of PTF inside the keyword SUP
But oh my friends and ah my foes, guess what it did to me
When it turned out those PTF's should have been on the PRE
Mañana, mañana, mañana is soon enough for me.
My system crashed this morning, and would not IPL
I called my friendly PSR and he told me "well
That mandatory PTF I told you to APPLY:
If you run JES2 or JES3, your system she will die!"
Mañana, mañana, mañana is soon enough for me.
The comments mentioned prereqs, I said "Why do I care?",
But it turned out that they forgot to put them on the VER.
Oh, this preventive service would be alright with me,
But I tried to do a LOCATE and it creamed my CVT.
Mañana, mañana, mañana is soon enough for me.
Those folks at Sterling Forrest I envy not one bit,
For every single PUT cycle they're certain to get hit;
There' a way they could help themselves and fill my heart with glee:
Take the damn JES2 change team and teach it SMP!
Mañana, mañana, mañana is soon enough for me.
>AFAICR the pre's and sup's were were right on.
Not only were they not right on, but the "fixes" for the bad packaging
had the same errors; prerequisites in the comment but not in the PRE.
>This was 15+ years ago and IBM has really cleaned up their act as
>far as JES2 .
That may be, but there was a time when it was truly ugly.
>Don't get me started on the CBPDO process and smp/e.
Kids these days. I've been around for every release of SMP, and I was
around before there was an SMP. You don't know when you're well off.
[1] While the packaging errors were real, the symptoms were
fictitious.
The second verse refers to the TSO Command Package and the 4th
verse to JES2
