Re: BLANK Subject Lines....

["Henrik Krebs" <hkrebs@xxxxxxxxx>]

Here is another idea based on the same basic ideal:

PGM
DCLF QADSPOBJ
DSPOBJD *ALL/*ALL *ALL OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(QTEMP/QADSPOBJ)
OVRDBF QADSPOBJ QTEMP/QADSPOBJ
LOOP:
RCVF
MONMSG CPF0864 *N (GOTO ENDLOOP)
IF (&ODOBTX *EQ ' ') (DLTOBJ &ODLBNM/&ODOBNM OBJTYPE(&ODOBTP))
GOTO LOOP
ENDLOOP:
ENDPGM

If blank subject is virus or 'bad behaviour', then 99% of the programs
in OS/400 are vira! The program above is a Virus Killer.

I never create a message without a subject and never an object without
a text, but I must live with the fact that somebody (otherwise
respectable people) do so.

PS: Luckily the program above will not compile, in case that anybody
took this mail seriously.
