I was going to say "obviously you haven't read the Diagnosis: Tools
and Procedure book. It contains quite funny sentences at the start
of each chapter". Unfortunately, when I just looked, they're all
gone!!!! It is still in the old os/390 R10 books.
Those were sentences like for standalone dump "Like a trip to the
dentist. . . you only go when you have to, and you know it's gonna
hurt".
Or: "SVC dump is like a burglar alarm. . . . It lets you know
something's wrong and helps you pinpoint where it started."
"Component trace is like a Swiss Army Knife: a lot of little tools
built into one."
Now who took that humour back out?!?
I had something to do with that. My concern is that system
programs are usually reading that book at a time when they are
dealing with the gravity of some problem, and may not be in a mood
to appreciate its opposite, levity.
Jim,
There's an old saying about people who can't take a joke ;-)
