RE: errors

First : what level of BPCS?
Then did you try to put the jobs on HOLD, then try 4 *immed and if that did
not do it, did you try endjobabn command....

                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.
