First place I worked, you had to write up editing commands on a coding form,
send them to be keypunched, hand-check the edit deck, send it in, hand-check
the resulting listing, request a new deck punch when you finally got it clean
through all this, and then submit the deck.

To make it even more fun...

This was for converting COBOL code from one version of COBOL to another.
