These were COMMON User requests to IBM from S/38 days. (What <i>did</i>
they call those things back then??!!??)

One I liked from the same set, was a request to change library list between
command executions. IBM response: "AVAILABLE. Press ENTER on a command
line. Note how the screen blinks."

Luis--

The command you want was created Once Upon A Time:

INCKBDVTG - Increase Keyboard Voltage. Useful to prevent users from
replying to messages that say "Contact IT before continuing!"

In the same vein, TRMUSR (*IMMED|*FAMILY) lets you get rid of a user
who Just Won't Learn!
The *FAMILY option increases voltage to the monitor until it gives
off a burst of radiation sufficient to sterilize the user.
The *IMMED option increases the voltage even more-- and leaves just a
pile of ashes on the chair.
Unfortunately, it only works with CRT monitors.

See http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/200205/msg01600.html for
the entire list of needed commands!

Robert,

You could define a BEFORE trigger (either for update and/or insert)
and
check and fix the bad data before it gets to the file.

That said, although chopping off fingers seems a little extreme, I
always
thought that it would be nice to have a way to send electric shocks to
the
users thru the keyboard :-)

IF %USER_ERROR >= n;
SEND_SHOCK();
ENDIF:
