i did a computer job finding a billing error for company named nu-car carrier where gm wanted to buy the company but told the owner that he had to find a $1m short billing error to GM. we started on friday. i take the lead cuz that’s what i do. all night friday still nothing. we are on univac which runs same os as the IBM dos and some old line editor to try to find the code in some cobol billing programs. friday night comes some guys go home. Saturday comes some guys go home. I do not and stay awake until sunday morning. It’s snowed three times that weekend. Finally i’m looking over the shoulder of some guy (cuz i can’t sit and code i start to fall asleep ) at this vsam file read statement and look at the return code verification. It’s missing. tell the guy to fix it and run the job with that program. Done. drove home that morning with the schuykill covered in snow. company was off lancaster ave in bryn mahr. That’s accomplishment.
” we are on univac which runs same os as the IBM dos “
I have no idea what you did that night but I do know that the Univac did not use the IBM dos as an operating system.
