Re: Interactive Job Looping

 System value . . . . . :   QDEVRCYACN
 Description  . . . . . :   Device I/O error action


 Action . . . . . . . . :   *DSCMSG                    *MSG
                                                       *DSCMSG
                                                       *DSCENDRQS
                                                       *ENDJOB
                                                       *ENDJOBNOLIST

When set at default (*MSG) it will produce effect you observe - escape message
is sent to program every time it tries to write to the screen. The program
probably tries to repeat display operation to recover and goes looping.
Which option to use is your decision, but probably *MSG is the worst choice...

When set at *DSCxxx, job will be disconnected (and suspended) and will be in
this state until reconnected or when timeout expires which is set by another
system value - QDSCJOBITV.

Subject:  Interactive Job Looping





We had a user running an interactive session that hung.  She shut her pc down
and went home.  The session stayed connected to the 400 and went into a loop,
creating huge joblogs until it had taken up so much of the disk space that the
system shut itself down  and went to a restricted state.  Is there anything
(i.e. a system value) that I can change to prevent this from happeninh again?
Thanks for any ideas....
