RE: Program looping -- RPG400-L



Yep, that was my very first idea, too.

We haven't had any log entries about sessions being closed, but my guess is
still a comms error.

Thanks.

Could it possibly be that the user has closed their emulation session
without signing off?  We've encountered similar instances where does this
and the resource usage goes wild.  I'm sorry I don't recall the CPF, but it
mentioned something about device I/O.

Just a thought,..  HTH

Can you post any code that has looping to rule that out?  Sounds like it
could be happening during a READC or a CHAIN to a subfile in a loop.  I've
seen this before, or at least something similar.
