Bill, Should programs have a MaxCpuPerEnterKey( ## ) ( or max nbr of rpg instructions per enter key ) attribute. An analyst could determine how much cpu a pgm should be using and if it wildly exceeds this amount, the system will halt the pgm and send a "program is looping" msg to Qsysopr. Or would this be a nusiance that catches some bugs but also halts too many programs that have been incorrectly classified ? Limiting the nbr of rcds in a PF prevents the system from being crashed by a looping pgm. But, speaking from recent experience where the domino server crashed because a pgmr was duplicating a library and caused the system to run out of space, should not OS400 be enhanced to take action when aux stg usage approaches the crash point ? Like not allowing a job to add a lot of rcds to a file when aux stg is over 98% ? If this type of reasonable protection was in place, would you still not want the max nbr of rcds set to *NoMax ?
