Re: Interested in creating a 'Gotcha' list

Phil,



I'm sure there are a LOT that I have done and forgotten right now (ages does
that. :-) ) but, seeing your example, I have just remembered that the
USEOPTBLK parameter has *YES as a default. We had a big reminder of what can
happen when one customer sent us a box with about 20 tapes for DUPTAPing
between different formats.



In the programming area a "gotcha" I have seen many times is people
forgetting that for the LOKUP opcode the array must be sorted beforehand.



And yes, I would love to have a copy of that list!!
