RE: FTP/REXEC exit points disappear

        Missing exit points and exit programs has happened to us on a
270 we upgraded from V5R3 to V5R3.  In a private e-mail to Jeff I
mentioned that the problem started after I installed the virus checker
on a trial basis.  That may have been a coincidence.  I removed the
virus checker program but the lost of exit points and exit programs
continued. 
        IBM says that there may have been a problem with QUSRSYS but
like Jeff they thought that the problem should have manifested itself
immediately and not on a "timed released" basis.  When we first got the
270 we were porting from an S10.  I restored some stuff from the S10
QUSRSYS to the new one thinking that I was taking a short cut.  Bad
idea.  Took a few days and a few calls to IBM to get over that one.  IBM
thinks that I may have left some bombs waiting for me when I installed
V5R3.  IBM recommended that I re-install the V5R3 OS and license
programs from the CDs to clear all of the crap from QUSRSYS.  I did the
re-install and so far the exit point problems have not re-occurred,
knock on wood.

Subject: FTP/REXEC exit points disappear


The FTP and REXEC exit points have disappeared 2 times on us, causing
both FTP and REXEC to fail.  Since all orders come in via FTP/REXEC this
is a real problem for us. <g>
