RE: Lower End AS/400s

Now now... I can think of plenty of times I've had an ODBC connection run my
dasd up 100+ Gb (Unprotect storage) when it crapped out and went in to a
loop.

I've seen a developer take down a box three times in a day because running
debug blew up the machine.

No OS is perfect.  If it was, there would be no such thing as PTFs.

OS/400 is good.  Compared to Windows as an enterprise server OS it blows its
doors off, but don't get too confident.

I would say that it's the lack of the OS that memory leaks are possible.



Any system that is properly administered should have good uptime. One of
the
problems with Windows systems is the wide variety of third-party software.
It's nice to have the choices available, but you're also subjected to
different programming abilities. Different levels of software 'wellness'
can
cause problems such as memory leaks or  privileged instructions/memory
conflicts.
