Title: RE: Program looping

Could it possibly be that the user has closed their emulation session without signing off?  We've encountered similar instances where does this and the resource usage goes wild.  I'm sorry I don't recall the CPF, but it mentioned something about device I/O.

Just a thought,..  HTH

Can you post any code that has looping to rule that out?  Sounds like it
could be happening during a READC or a CHAIN to a subfile in a loop.  I've
seen this before, or at least something similar.
