errors

[Debbie Helms <DHelms@xxxxxxxxx>]

I had an interesting problem (opportunity) today.  Our 640 locked up around
10:30 this morning.  We had about 5 jobs in QINTER that brought the system
to its knees.  We could not cancel the jobs in any form.  IBM could not help
us cancel the jobs.  Finally we decided the only option was to IPL.   The
joblogs wrapped so we do not know what exactly happened.  Listed below is a
portion of the joblog that repeated itself.  In 40 seconds it had repeated
this 8,400 pages.  IBM thinks the problem is in BPCS.  I don't know what to
think.  If anyone has ever heard or seen this please let me know.
