RE: PWRDWNSYS - Trivia

Speaking of disasters, reminds me of the time that one of my associates
started Mimix going the wrong direction (writing on top of the production
data with stuff from DR) - that took a while to fix!

Justin,

You remind me of the time my boss was test-prompting some commands to
check their defaults.  For some reason, when he came to PWRDWNSYS, he
hit <enter> instead of <f3>.  He ran over to my desk and we tried to
salvage the situation (this was in the middle of a production day), but
there was nothing we could do.

I don't think there is a way to stop it.

Thanks for the memories (I think).

Regards,
Andy Nolen-Parkhouse
