24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  And it sure could.  I had a S/34 15 
yrs ago.  It ran 2 yrs, 24/7.  I only stopped to IPL it.  NO hardware 
or operating system failures.  I had the same experience with my S/36 
and so far (knock on wood), the same for my AS/400.  

Max,  by todays standards the S/34 is junk.  In its day, it was a 
very fine computer, and even pre-dated the S/38.  Maybe it really is 
the grandpappy of the AS/400.  

Have a great weekend......
