I admit, maybe I missed a memo, but is there a way to electronically 
transmit a saved APAR library to IBM?

The odds of me providing them with that information shoot up astronomically 
if I could do it that way instead of making a tape and figuring out where to 
mail it.

For those of you scoring at home, APAR II12302 is the generic cover letter 
sent back from IBM when you have:

1)  reported a problem via ECS / service agent / extreme service / 
supersplendifio servicio / whatever it is called this week.
B)  the analysis is Probability - 100, Possible Cause - Error detected in 
OS/400 licensed program
3)  with the exciting contents of

PS - LOL gotta love spell check.  See if *you* can spot the typo in the last 
paragraph of the cover letter.  Apparently, IBM hasn't been able to in 6+ 
years.
