Re: How to open a PMR?

[Dan <dan27649@xxxxxxxxx>]

See, this is why I know I'll get stellar results by posting a question on
midrange.com.  To quote the Dr.:  "We reject your configuration rules and
substitute our own."

Larry, do you still have that beer kegger housed in an old AS/400 (or was
it S/36) cabinet?  Link to picture?

Anyway, I'm too new here to have "ownership" of any box.  From the object
description, the person who created the data area on our system back in
2011 is, apparently, no longer with the company.  I'll approach my
supervisor about deleting the data area.  In the meantime, I'm going to
have to make it a point to get friendly with the i admins here.  They lock
them down in the basement, so I dunno if I've ever crossed paths with one.
