Well, Pete, we are at V5R4. The associated APAR (SE31256) does say that it won't be HIPER-ed, and it is not on my other system, which is at the latest cume. So maybe that's it. I have done quite a few SAVE 21's, including one on the other (backup) system before and after applying the cume. Guess I just hit the right set of circumstances this morning; lucky me.
Thanks.

At one point there were a lot of PTFs flying around for a race condition
that prevented jobs from ending, and seemed to have something to do with
a large number of object locks owned by the job. I think that was on
V5R4. It's been a while.

tape activity, no "Saving library x of y". After an hour (I'm getting
more patient in my old age), I called IBM support. Walking through the
messages (nada) and the job log we found that the subsystems were not
ending. Specifically QSYSWRK with job QDIRSRV. The job log just showed
trying to end subsystems *All, RCVMSG RMV(*All) page after page. I
could not even force the job to end with a *Immed so the tech had me do
a "Microsoft" (re-IPL *Immed).

wondering if anyone else had seen or heard of something like this?
