I tend to agree, however, I do have a geezer story to share with you. I
had a little used test table that probably only got used when a new
release of the OS came out. It got corrupted but no one seemed to notice
until long after the backup rotation (I'm talking well over a year here.)
File was there but wasn't 'right'. I could not do the API to retrieve the
DDL. It would abort. Basically IBM told me to do better back ups. Didn't
try things like 'create table x as (select * from corrupted table)'. But
that was many moons ago. And it's people like me trying things early on
which prevents others from seeing these things happen.
The biggest problem with geezer stories is there is still people who
remember some obscure thing from the S/38 and that's why they never key
physical files.
