Fw: PM/400 record locks

Yes, we have seen a few systems that occasionally encounter record locks
between Q1PDR and Q1PMONTH jobs.   We are modifying the PM iSeries code for
new systems to run these jobs at completely different times to avoid these
locks.  If this is a problem on your system, it is recommended that you
change the time of the Q1PMONTH job via GO PM400, Work with automatically
scheduled jobs, option 2 to change on Q1PMONTH.  Change it to a time that
no PM iSeries jobs are scheduled; by default 03:00 would work.

Has anyone else seen record locks in the Q1PDR job (in QSYSWRK subsystem)
at month-end, because IBM's default settings for scheduling jobs has
Q1PMONTH run at the same time at month-end that the Q1PDR job is running?
I've seen this on 3 customer V5R2 systems at the October month-end.  They
have three single thread job queues (Q1PSCHQ, Q1PSCHQ2 & Q1PSCHQ3) so it
looks like someone coding PM/400 screwed up and didn't submit Q1PDR &
Q1PMONTH to the same job queue.
