RE: Cume causes purchase or hardware was: CL Variable being chang ed by called CL program

All we know is we applied the cume over the weekend and when the
distribution center started work Monday, the Symbol scanners were not
communicating with the system.  IBM was unhelpful in solving the problem and
the scanners were so old as to preclude hardware support from the vendor.
There might have been some "selling us something" going on, but we had to
move quickly and managed to get rid of some really old hardware in the
process that was likely causing problems anyway.

Do you have any documentation or confirmation from IBM this is true? or was
it the vendor "selling you something"?
The only way I can imagine a ptf changing something like this is if the
vendor was doing something on an unsupported interface
(and i can't imagine what that would be.
