sawylMildly frustrating day offering up Burnt Offerings to the Nameless Horrors of MVS. I spent a fair amount of time trying to recall the necessary mystic magic of JCL, only to have my job bounced by the one of Great Old Ones for failing to specify my incantation in Great Runes.
But even when I finally supplied the system with the correct invocation, something failed to work, for the Elder Gods did not deign to return my output. I suspect that the charm I thought diverted the output to the JES spool actually sent it somewhere else entirely. Like a microfiche printer. In Bracknell. Or possible R'lyeh.
