yes, definitely. I remember using fiche two versions back (save that old fiche) to help make a fix in VTIOC (TSO/VTAM) hung users which couldn't be canceled. And telling OPEN/CLOSE/EOV the line number containing the change they had made which broke my program (they said it explained a lot of other things they had seen). Also a small one bit change to 3830 microcode to prevent channel disconnect (the 3830 was connected to a 360/91 selector channel). Along with this was a 360 program run at IPL time which sent the 3830 a microcode program to zap the bit. I always wonder how gradual OCO really was since there was a lot of old fiche around. But, I'd guess, gradually the fixes from the field slowed down to a trickle. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
