Ah, you mean using a magic marker to write a visual stripe on the edge of the cards, right?

 

Bah, we just NEVER dropped our card decks.  Afterall, using columns 72 to 80 for sequence numbers was always for wimps, right?

Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Andy.

 

For me it was a new 360(?) in college in 1968. One of the seniors showed me how to run a thin diagonal stripe down the side of the card deck to aid in sorting, should it ever be necessary...

 

ABEND was absolutely in the vocabulary at that time. Both as "evening" from my German classes and ABnormalENDing, courtesy of IBM.

 

Now I have REALLY dated myself.

Ha - long before Gates started college, there was a company called International Business Machines. And you had to program sorter/merger machines to get your punch cards in the proper order for the revolutionary brand-new /370s - because disk sorting was not yet available, even though at least the operating system was finally a "D"os.  Instead of a "G"UI you had a teletype.

 

And Windows were something you put in walls to look through.

 

Yet, programs were "abending" already.

 

I'm frequently amused about "new" concepts that are being introduced into desktop/server architecture from time to time - often thinking, "been there - done that, but more than 20 years ago".

I have had decludeproc 3.0.5.22 abend on me twice today. Is there anything I should be doing to capture information about this? I have automatic restart enabled so it starts again but I am not super happy with it abending.

 

Any hints on what (if anything) I can/should be doing?
