RE: Chgpf hanging after 6.1 OS installed

Installing all the PTFs that IBM software support recommended did not work.

Interesting point. I tried this morning to do a CHGPF on the SAME file that
I manually processed and it worked.

I was ready to send the victory e-mail to IT, then I thought I would try
another file. It hung.

The status in WRKACTJOB is RUN. Here is the call stack:

Module or Statement

Type Program Expanded Type Identifiers

QCMD QSYS

INFOCON ICSUTLIB 3600

QUOCPP QPDA

1 QUOCMD QSYS

QMNWRKXX QSYS

2 QUIMGFLW QSYS

3 QUICMD QSYS

QDBCHGFI QSYS QDBCHGFI QBUILDSS1 17910

QMHPDEH QSYS

If the process is in an apparent loop or hang, then the job
status [from WRKACTJOB] and program stack [from DSPJOB] are of
interest; i.e. knowing just that the "line number" is changing is
not very descriptive. The program and procedure names often are
sufficiently descriptive to infer what the job is trying to do, and
that job status may be indicative of that also. For example if the
procedure name is something like "LockDBFnet" and the job status is
LCKW and the "job locks" show a lock being awaited on a logical file
in the DBF network, then investigation of the holder of the locked
LF would seem a reasonable next-step. If the job status\stack
information is [either not helpful or] not available, then one or
more formatted LIC process dump may be of interest to infer progress
and action(s).

No, just a lock with what I was trying to do.

But the call stack is changing the line number that it is being
executed. It almost seems like the program is in a loop.

if you do a wrkobjlck does is show anything out of the ordinary.

One of our customers just put V6R1 on over the weekend and there
were not any problems. They put the current cumulative PTFs on also.

But when I do a CHGPF, it just hangs. I will not finish. The job log
does not show anything abnormal happening.

Searching the internet, I found some HYPER PTFs that we installed
that referred to CHGPF hanging up, but they did not make any
difference. I did not find anything relevant searching this archive.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
