Morning Richard,

talking of lazy people - get this .....

In my previous life as a DBA (for IDMS(X) - a hierarchical database running on ICL mainframes) I had to deal with a 'senior analyst' from time to time.
This person was soooooooo lazy it was unbelievable.Typing in the command SCREEN_EDIT(filename) she got an error back which said '50144: required file does not exist' - she phoned me to find out what it meant ! Another time, she had to raise a support call for one of her applications - about which I knew nothing - she wanted me to phone them, make the support call and pass any info on to her.

Takes all sorts I suppose, but some people take a lot of beating. (Now that's an idea !!!!)

Cheers,
Norman.
