We use automation to check the range. If it is 'excessive', we require the operators to enter a password. That usually gets their attention enough to actually look at the command they entered and correct it if necessary.

Has anyone perhaps had a similar problem and what solution was used to stop is happening again ?, also anyone got any ideas on how to ensure it does not happen again. Our current thinking is around an assembler exit to trap all vary commands, but trying to avoid that solution .
