I had such an occurrence where someone was creating an additional data-level
file on an existing dict/data file set. So he typed:

CREATE-FILE DATA EXISTINGFILE NEWDATALEVEL 1,1 10000,1

assuming that the 1,1 pertained to the dict and the 10000,1 applied to the
new datalevel that they were creating. The 10000,1 was ignored

While D3 and native systems reply with the base and mod frame numbers of the
new file, it wasn't read by the programmer. But when the new datalevel file
was put into production, the client called in a few weeks as it got
hammered. There was some egg on the face of that programmer, especially
reviewing the TCL-STACK file (big brother) for the typed command.
