I am working with an interactive production program that is used

About once a month it quits functioning for one user after she

The program stops after it writes the subfile control record and
attempts the following READ statement.

Today I had the user do a CTRL/ESC to a new session, log on, log
off. This made the READ statement in the original session work.

Any ideas of what is going on?


What is Ctrl-Esc mapped to? Presumably SysRqs [System Request] such that SysRqs-1 effects TFRSECJOB, or SysRqs shows the System Request panel? If so, are the other activities required, or might just SysRqs followed by F12 to return to the processing get things going again? Regardless, when it happens again, probably better to have another user\job request a WRKJOB OUTPUT(*PRINT) against the apparently-hung job to see its status and program stack.

FWiW the return to a job after the sequence of TFRSECJOB, signon, and signoff, will check the break\notify for the workstation [& user?] message queue. The DLVRY() setting for the user or the workstation message queue might be germane.
