Re: Changing processing program of IBM commands - Legality, etc

I'm not trying to copyright SNDDST.. ew. I'd rather not even be related to
that command at all... lol. Just have a lot of customers and potential
customers looking for a quick option and not have to touch any code.

I don't think you want that copright Brad 😊

Once in the 80's I put my own SIGNOFF command in the list that would force
capture user joblogs to a database when they logged off.

Them were the days.

You?re worried they have a copyright or trademark on SNDDST?

Putting your own sign off command in front of qsys (and others) has always
been the way I thought.

I think Rob B. mentioned a few times that his email command processors go
somewhere else.

Yes, that's what I mentioned. I just wonder if IBM would be upset, or
potentially cause legal issues with them. I don't want to poke a
bear. I would rather work WITH them and other ISVs to help, but so
far that doesn't seem like something either wants to do.

I asked AI and it said no, but it may void warranties for the

command(s)..

hehe.
