Saw an interesting screen shot just now.

If you're familiar with Touchtone products, you probably already know that our authorization codes are issued for specific LPARs of specific systems, and that as a convenience, our WRKxxxxAUT authorization code installer utilities display the model, serial, number of LPARs, and the LPAR ID (in hex) of the partition in which they are being run.

So this terminal session screen shot showed the WRKVIEWINF screen for QuestView, and showed "LPARs: 31 Current partition: 21"

Given that the current partition is definitely displayed in hex, and (so far as I can recall; it's been many years since I've looked at the code, but we've never seen a digit higher than 9 in it) the number of LPARs is displayed in decimal, that would give a partition ID that's higher than the partition count.

Anybody have a clue about how or why that would happen? Are systems allowed to have breaks in the sequence of LPAR IDs?
