A few weeks ago, the managers (and I use that term loosely) decided a Go
Save 22 was taking a little too long and told us to forget about doing a
cumulative PTF that Friday night.
Then, they told us to get IBM involved and order up a machine in "The Cloud"
to test to see if the SAVSECDTA step should really take 2 hours.
It was a good thing I had my phone's mute button pushed.

Depending on your company it can be hard to get projects approved to change
code that works when there are other more pressing projects that need to get
done.

Yes, they are. The one client still using it (V7R1) sends thousands of
invoices a day over a secure connection to RR Donnelly for printing and
mailing.
I quit suggesting that they migrate into the 21st century.

- ABSTRACT: Users trying to save a file from Microsoft Office to a share
in the QDLS file system will get an error, "Document not saved".
I could maybe see this if they were using some crappy vendor package which
insisted on using QDLS because the vendor won't spend time upgrading (like
changing from CPYTOPCD to CPYTOIMPF).
But for general "let's use IBM i to do file serving" and still use QDLS?
To me that's like dropping a turd sandwich in the user's mouth because of
the 8.3 file naming alone. All the users will be thinking "that crappy
AS400 only supports the old 8.3 file naming". Just remap it and it over
with!
