Was his name <elided to avoid a lawsuit>? I had the identical thing
happen on my first job. His logic was that a SYSTEM abend must mean a
SYSTEM problem.
I even showed him what the problem was and how to fix it. He
refused my
fix because "he didn't like it". I eventually threw him out of my
office. Loudly enough to disturb the programmer who were in a
different
area. I got a talking to from my manager about that. Didn't do any
good.
John,
Sigh... no it wasn't I have just plain forgotten his name. All I can
tell was that he was not of American heritage. I had heard he left
the company and was doing consultant type work (and that is NOT why I
posted the earlier sysprog entry). This was 30 or so years ago. I too
showed him in the dump the offending instruction and that one o the
fields was corrupted. It was just plain that he wanted NOT to do his
job and pawn the responsibility off to some one else.
This happened in Chicago in the early 70's .
