You mean I can't do a System Request 2 on my Browser? awwww.... and I so wanted to see if I could crash my iSeries by running a query through my web browser. Wait. I have to go do some more updates so that more malicious code can't take over my PC THROUGH my MS Browser. Oh yeah, I use Mozilla. Never mind. For the "MS" people on the list, no offense intended, but get a grip. Don't confuse millions of lines of code and billions in marketing with a quality product. Here in Texas, we have a law called the deceptive trades practices act. My local DA has told me on numerous occasions that if it wasn't for the fact that the Feds and the States take the lead in lawsuits against MS, he'd file an action against them because Windows qualifies as a deceptive product, making each person affected eligible for double damages.

I just updated my machine last week. Looking at it now, there are about a dozen "Windows Security Updates" that say that not installing this patch will allow a malicious user to completely take over my machine. There is NOTHING like that on ANY IBM bug I have ever heard, with the possible exception of the passwords being stored in the clear in temporary storage. So, one bug versus dozens or more a month - no, there is no similarity. > How many know > about a "small problem" where you can crash and entire high-end iSeries > by doing a System Request 2 during a query? We're not taking about an > old bug, we're talking about V4R4 to V5R3 problem that isn't PTFd yet. Never had it happen. Haven't been able to do it here, Walden. I get the idea that this problem might be apocryphal. But even if it isn't, it requires physical access to the 5250 terminal. You can't even recreate it using a web interface.
