Sigh... no it wasn't I have just plain forgotten his name. All I can
tell was that he was not of American heritage. I had heard he left the
company and was doing consultant type work (and that is NOT why I
posted the earlier sysprog entry). This was 30 or so years ago. I too
showed him in the dump the offending instruction and that one o the
fields was corrupted. It was just plain that he wanted NOT to do his
job and pawn the responsibility off to some one else.
This happened in Chicago in the early 70's .

The first time I made a system upgrade at my last job, I was told that
my new system had caused production data to be corrupted to where a S0C7
was caused in a long-standing accounting system. The language of my
comments caused the phone to melt right out of the programmer's hand!
The following morning I showed him how to use ICETOOL to find the
offending data field and back-track it to the source.
My technical reputation got a boost; unfortunately, so did my "grouch
factor". :-)
