++ I've never apologized for looking things up, and never will, just as I'll never apologize for paranoia in backup strategies.
Sometimes even when you've known the details for a long time it pays to check the manual for changes. BTST,GTTS. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

IMHO, having to look something up in the manual is just a routine part of the job -- not something to apologize for. I remember starting a contract for an insurance company in Ohio and being told, after I'd been there a month or two, that what got me hired was that during the interview I said "I don't do that often enough to tell you off-hand; I'd have to look it up". I guess they had their BS-o-meter turned up and liked that answer better than someone attempting to bluff-guess. --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336 382-7313 /* We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality. -Albert Einstein */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of John McKown Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2022 21:47 I have a useful knowledge of PERL, Python, BASH scripting, Java, and C/C++. I do need to look things up when writing in them mainly because I'm not as interested anymore.
