Anyone else recall….
Have the HASP operator read your JOB Deck,
Walking over to the printer to collect your output
Waiting for the output, and setting your card deck on the printer
The printer running out of paper and the hood rises up
Your card deck is spilled all over the floor


Thanks

Sequence numbers could also be used for implementing a new release of vendor 
software that had been customized by in-house modifications. By comparing the 
old/new/in-house code you could identify which programs needed no conversion 
effort.

separately. SYSLOG still has a 133 record length left over from the

360 days when the console was a 1050 typewriter using pin-fed

green-bar paper.  Though SAMPLIB(IEAMDBLG) can be modified to provide

SYSLOG from OPERLOG with a longer record length and do away with split lines.
