RE: EE connections including STRPASTHR, SNADS, SAVRSTLIB and DDM will hang for 20 seconds to 4 minutes

<snip>
I see one exists on each LPAR, matches my LPAR name, PF with no members,
created in 1997, never changed or used.
</snip>

That's why I picked it for a remote file.
But I'm confused. If the LIBRARY is SYSIBM and the file name is SYSDUMMY1
how does that match your lpar name?
And it should have a member, also named SYSDUMMY1.
It has one column, IBMREQD. And it's a very short variable length column.
Perhaps someone there initialized the contents to your lpar name? I have
to look at the contents of it in hex mode.

The purpose of this table is this:
Back before SQL supported
VALUES INTO
You used to have to write a dummy sql select like
SELECT CURRENT DATE FROM SYSIBM/SYSDUMMY1 INTO :myhostvariable
Now you can do that with
VALUES CURRENT DATE INTO :myhostvariable

Some people never change and still do the dummy select.
