Been there done that DLTCMD CRT*
had to find an empty save file to send the commands to from another
system. Now I just type CRT*<ENTER>
SLTCMD should be outlawed. (At least a prompt on the DLTCMD to confirm
you typo!)

Hi Folks... I'm looking to compile a list of (hopefully humorous)

Ok, how about this one.
Many years ago, a young programmer I know ... fairly new to the AS/400,
was looking for a command to do something. He knew the first part of
the command's name ... but not the rest of it.
So, being the industrious person he was ... he typed 'SLTCMD ASN*' and
pressed enter ... thinking that he would be presented with a list of all
the commands that started with ASN.
Unfortunately, he accidentally typed a 'D' instead of a 'S' on the
command line ... you can imagine the rest.
In all fairness, the D key is right next to the S key on the keybard.
