RE: savlib and evtw

EVTW status on a backup job would usually indicate that the job is
waiting to reach a SWA checkpoint.  What are your settings for the
Object locks parameter under SAVACTWAIT?  Also what release are you on?
Parameters for Pending record changes and Other pending changes were
added to this as of V5R3.

When running a savlib command the job goes into an evtw status.  How can
I find out what event the job is waiting on?
Below is the command.  When I look at the job log, the first two libs
are saved and then the job goes into an evtw status.
I have to end the job.


SAVLIB     LIB(DC@COMLIB DC@DTALIB DC@GSCPROD DC@MODLIB +
             DC@PGMLIB) DEV(TAP01) VOL(*MOUNTED) +
             SEQNBR(1) ENDOPT(*UNLOAD) CLEAR(*ALL) +
             SAVACT(*SYSDFN) OUTPUT(*PRINT)

Thanks for you Help!!!
