Some alternative ideas: Print more than one copy of the IPL procedure, keep one in your wallet, distribute the others to all the operators to be kept in their wallets, and do not tell your mismanager that you did it.
Or, if he finds out, make him put his boneheaded instructions in writing, print several copies of his instructions, keep one in your wallet, destroy all printed copies of the IPL procedure, and, when the inevitable happens, then fumble around at the console long enough to get your boss fired, then save the day by suddenly remembering that you have memorized the IPL procedure. Or casually mention the boneheaded instruction some time to your boss' boss if you see him in the break room, lunchroom, parking lot, elevator, etc. Bill Fairchild Rocket Software -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ted MacNEIL Sent: Sunday, December 05, 2010 5:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Philosophy: curiousity question He told us there was NO reason to print the instructions.
