Hello folks,

I have an MI program that for some reason is unable to locate jobs on
a system and returns with code 9. This same program works fine on
other systems. Just wondering if there's anything I am missing in the
code itself. Has the maximum number of WCB tables increased beyond
30?

Thanks!

All systems at V5R4 and sec level 40, program is System State:
