You'd be amazed by stories of ignorance and mental denseness. I've read comparable stories on "The Register" (http://www.theregister.co.uk). I loved the one where the end-user apparently didn't know that the "on" button for a PC was the same one as the "off" button. The one I remember was from a certain frozen state which shall remain nameless where the system's programmer reported that the product would immediately abend. He had not linked the supplied object decks into a load library, but put the data set containing the object decks in the STEPLIB. I guess he didn't read the installation documentation (Top Secret was the product). But I can see where it would be _very_ nice if an application to do a TESTAUTH to make sure that it is APF authorized. And, if not, then put out a message similar to: THE PRODUCT IS NOT APF AUTHORIZED DUE TO THE DSN=SOME.NONAPF.LIBRARY ON VOLUME volser BEING ON THE STEPLIB/JOBLIB. DSN=SOME.NONAPF.LIBRARY ON volser IS NOT APF AUTHORIZED. -- Heisenberg may have been here.
