Re: CPF1001

Dan,

I forget what version of OS/400 you are running on, but way back in the V3R1 
days,
I THINK it was after upgrading to it or MAYBE after our move to RISC and V4R1, 
we
had problems. In one of our shutdown CL's we were killing everything with *IMMED
and Rochester said to but some times on there. It was something do to with a 
time
out before the request could complete or something. Sorry for being SO vague 
here,
but this was 3 or 4 years ago and at my last job.

Do you have SupportLine ?
