Re: Data Corruption / 400

>Has anyone EVER suffered data corruption
>on their 400 business data bases

OS/400 nailed one of our very large files on the release where IBM did the
database re-write.  We had good backups and lost very little, but we did
lose some.  I have personally seen OS failures damage business data on every
single platform I've worked with.  I love OS/400, but it's not reasonable to
expect that it will never ever never step on your data.  That's what backups
and commitment control are for.
