Re: My nomination for the single most dangerous, command on an IBM Midrange box

A couple candidates - PWRDWNSYS in 1991 or so did not check whether it SHOULD be run - I'd mentioned it to students at Mpls Tech inst, where, I'd got what training I had, and someone just tried it on a command line - pretty loose authority, too, eh?

Another beauty is a size setting for a memory pool - *NOSTG - I set QINTER to that and no one could sign on - WOOPS!!!

I'm just glad I'm talking over 25 years ago!!

Regards
Vern

In the first version of Navigator, it was possible to use your mouse to drag*/root* or*QSYS.LIB* to the Windows Recycle bin.  It took a while, but eventually the interface code got hit and the AS/400 went belly up.  Can you spell Alternate IPL Device?
