The problem, from what I've been able to deduce, is that the mode
description QPCSUPP is allocated to another subsystem. This is rather
counter-intuitive, as I don't see why that makes a difference, but at
any rate, the easy fix is to end the subsystems and start QSERVER,
TCP/IP and host servers first, then the other subsystems. It seems that
if QSERVER ends, the jobs that run there automatically transfer to QCMN,
or evidently in your case, QSNADS, and you are SOL until you reset
things. I did succeed in correcting the situation by ending the prestart
jobs and then restarting them again in QSERVER once last week, but it
took an inordinate amount of screwing around. BTW, there are a couple of
brand new PTFs that I needed to apply in order to keep the database
server from hanging as soon as it connected (V3R1), but I'm running
AnyNet.
