This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Over software still stand hardware. It is probably a bug ... but I saw the following in a not especially AS/400 shop. They had inherited of a model 150. Somebody sold them some connectors to save on twinax wires: they managed to use some cheap blue unshielded twisted RJ45 wire between a couple of them. They had used it to connect few dummies and their SNA printer for invoices on a classical SNA controller. I will add it was a TV channel business with heavy electromagnetic environment. As soon as any dummy was connected their QSYSOPR msgq was screaming hundred of times the following message: * *Attention* Device *N on resource *N failed. Controller CTL01 failed. Internal system failure. .

This server is sometimes too much robust. I warned them they were going toward harware trouble and even more troublesome things like false printing trouble ... but the statu quo stayed for a while because they were on the verge to throw there server away anyway. HIH if it can enlight the "electrons" case. Olivier I have never heard of a virus on an AS400. Anyone? I have a customer with a changing item#/descr/price on an invoice. The software developer said it was electrons changing the data in the AS400 or the printer was malfunctioning. Sounds like a bug to me.
