Problem reporting sheet

A problem reporting sheet helps you gather the background information that you need when reporting a problem to the IBM® support center.

There are two advantages to using a problem reporting sheet when you contact the IBM support center:

• In a telephone conversation, you are better prepared to respond to questions if we have all your findings before you on a sheet of paper.
• We can use the information for planning, organizing, and establishing your priorities for controlling and resolving the problem.
