1)  If you do a DSPPTF what is the first that displays.  Is it TL03161 or 
higher?

2)  If you do a WRKPTFGRP, what do you see?  It should be comparable to:
PTF Group             Level  Status 
SF99519                  62  Installed
SF99502                   8  Installed
SF99271                   8  Installed
SF99190                  10  Installed
SF99169                  10  Installed
SF99149                   3  Installed
SF99148                   3  Installed
SF99098                   9  Installed

SF99039                   2  Installed

Just kidding about that "autoresponse", but it ain't a bad thing to check. 
 Probably, since you are working with IBM on this issue, they've already 
hit you with the autoresponse.

We're running an 820 on V5R2.  A critical EDI application connects to
the AS/400 Netserver via a shared drive. 

Periodically, the AS/400 Netserver stops responding.  Any and all shared
ISF drives simply fail to exist.  I've called IBM on this and their
solution (the one time I called) was to shut down the QSERVER subsystem
and restart it.  Unfortunately, one of the jobs in QSERVER will not go
away.  Even with ENDJOBABN on that job it still doesn't end.  (I can't
remember the job name at the current time.) 

The ONLY solution is to IPL the machine!  This happened 4 times last
week while I was on vacation.  Two occasions occurred only 60 minutes
apart.  During the middle of the day.  I've got unhappy users when I
need to IPL twice in one morning.   Suddenly OS/400 is acting like
Win2K. 

I need to actively pursue this with IBM now that I'm back from vacation
but wondered if anyone of you have heard of this?

Heeeelp!
