Hehehe! I once said that to my boss when one of our MVS/XA (or was it MVS/ESA?) 
VTAM won't come up. [1] My boss replaced in the VTAM PROC the value in REGION= 
with something smaller. Guess what! VTAM won't come up and I still remember 
paging trough System Commands book to try to recover. 

After the recovery with S VTAM,REGION=<better/bigger value>, I told my boss and 
said that (using not so polite language) he was __not supposed to__ play around 
with VTAM region without any change controls.

The mere fact that I rescued an IPL prevented me from a promotion to pavement 
(to mingle with 'pavement special' mongrels...)

You just can't win with error-prone bosses. If you don't believe me, just ask 
Ed Gould... ;-D
