Re: how to clear 'future' dates in QHST log? (due to y2ktesting)

Either Midrange Computing or NEWS/400's CD's had a program that turned QHST 
files into
database files and allowed you to seaarch and position through them. I STARTED 
to look
into using it/them and than got busy (imagine that) and spaced it...
I'll see what I can find.

Speaking of getting busy and spacing the "handy" things like this, I am 
Operations
Supervisor/I.S. for our company. We have a 530 and just inherited a 500 from a 
sister
division that we took over. I'm responsible for both. We have over 600+ users 
and
devices at 9 locations in the U.S. and Canada. I handle security, 
telecommunications,
backup and disaster recovery, software installation and upgrades, user support, 
system
programming, trouble shooting, etc. and am the Help Desk Supervisor (if we ever 
get it
up and running <G>) and still get a TON of questions from our development staff 
(which
I don't mind at all ! I used to do Applications programming before switching to 
this)
and I am "IT" (and I'm NOT saying that as "Mr. Bighead" but rather as "Mr. 
Getting
REALLY burned out, can't get ANYTHING done"...) - am I alone in this ? Are 
others
dealing with a workload like this alone ? Or are "you" a similiar sized shop 
that is
staffed differently in this arena - "inquiring mind, wants to know :-)

Thanks !!
