I'm almost sorry I brought this up. The particular programmer who
complained about "it always worked before" consistantly uses that. If
the program ever runs once to good EOJ, then the program is good and any
subsequent failures are because something else changed. He even agreed
that testing for 97 was a good idea, BUT still insisted that the program
was OK as is because "it never failed in the past."
Oh, and the "transparency" of going to a basic sysplex from a monoplex
was never said by Tech Services. The apps manager was the one who
tooting that horn. I rarely say anything is "transparent". Even
installing a PTF can cause an outage due to (1) a bad PTF; (2) the
closing of a "hole"; (3) the phase of the moon.

At the risk of sounding unsympathetic: "Those who forget their mistakes
are doomed to repeat them". The quote isn't completely accurate, but the
sentiment still comes through.
