I think you missed the intent of the suggestion. Often we see that people don't 
know what information might be useful to solve a problem. If there is some key 
information that makes solving problems easier, then having a guideline often 
helps people collect the right stuff to get the problem solved the first time 
around. Others have suggested a automated way; that's cool, but you have to 
define what you (IBM) need before you can automate anything. Then the REXX and 
Pipe fiends will take over and find a way to collect it. 8-)

Returning to the report in question, if that's the paradigm that you find 
useful, gut it of customer details, and let's see it. If nothing else, it will 
make a good example of what kind of things need to be collected.
