Re:images On AS/400

[Bob Larkin <blarkin@xxxxxx>]

Booth,
I came in after the fact. The application was a packavge that was sold and
then "enhanced" by one of the alphabet companies from California. I was
called in for my AS/400 expertise, because there hd been many problems.

Standard scenario is a problem occurs, vendor is baffled, I determine cause
through reverse engineering (since we cannot see the source code) , we
communicate the cause and recommended fix to the vendor, I develop a
workaround (to use until/if the vendor fixes it).

In all honesty, my client is pushing the application beyond what the vendor
feels is prudent. Pushing the envelope always produces interesting results.
