Re: Unit XX With Device Parity Protection not operational? -- MIDRANGE-L

Apparently this is a bug !!.....

To do with the date 19/2/99 ?, IBM have said  that this has effected 2000 +
users.

Not sure exactly of the facts on this one, as I was travelling and have not
spoke to IBM in detail.

Ours happened on a S40, V4R2 at 0601, and then went fully op by 0604 ??.

If I find anything out will post here.

Thanks
Nick
