RE: Near-fatal OOPS waiting to happen in PDM (or THANK GOD for CONFIRMATION SCREENS!)

Oh, hell yes! In my test environment my test libraries all have the same
name as production preceded with a 'T'. I usually read it a dozen times
just to make sure.

Same thing when I use STRSQL to mass delete records. I usually sit there
for 10 minutes reading and re-reading the DELETE statement ("Do I really
want to do this?").

What's even worse is your conscience wants to type
CLRLIB QTEMP
but your brain and fingers type
CLRLIB someotherlibrarythatDOES exist

and you are wondering why it's taking so long

Fortunately (for me) it was my own development library on the development
box
Only the gods know what my brain was doing at that time
Still took a while to restore it - but with that one action you definitely
don't need any exercise for that day

Has anybody ever meant to put a "5" on a member, and put a "4" on it by
mistake?

Kind of makes you jump, when you get the "Do you really want to delete
xxxxx?" confirmation screen, don't it?
