Perhaps. I learned C programming from a gentlemen who wrote the code that controlled nuclear reactor fuel rods at the INEL. This was in the late 80's and we learned test driven development before it was thing. No one wanted a Chernobyl in America. I took that same philosophy with me when I went into business programming and learned RPG. A runaway report should happen as often as a runaway nuclear reactor.

You are more unique than you might realize then. *NOMAX is my favorite parameter on tables since it creates a wonderful revenue stream from customers that have not been as diligent as you apparently are.

When I was in 5th Group, we were not issued knives. We all had knives,
but that's because killing people silently after a night drop is
preferable to shooting them and letting everyone know you've arrived.
Still the knives where not issued, so it had nothing to do with being airborne.

In the 30 years since that time of which I've been using IBM OS/400/i5
OS/i OS since 1989, I've used *NOMAX on files ALOT and never had a
runaway file let alone one that took down a system.

And they issues knives to airborne soldiers, however I don't
recommending cutting off your chute on the way down.

My response to this is that IBM is generally pretty careful about giving
us choices that let us shoot ourselves in the foot. If IBM has left
*NOMAX as an option then they have a reason for it.
