The machine that did the calling is an 820 DSD running V4R5 with Service
Director. I believe the function has been around since V4R3. way back in 
1989-90,
we had similar situation, but the operator was notified y a program monitoring
the QSYSOPR message queue. Lost a 9337 (suprise), the operator got notified,
called IBM, and had the drive replaced before the administrators knew there was 
a
problem.
