If you have no lines, why are you issuing the command(s) at all? Check and see if there are any line(nn) statements in you init deck and only start/stop that number of lines, or remove the commands entirely if no line(nn) statements are present.
I just checked the manual and the range for line(*) is 1-65535. Since you specified LINE(*) in your command, it will have to check 64K lines. This is bound to take a while. This is most likely not caused by you MASDEF parameters. HTH, <snip> We have a Lpar (not in sysplex), every time when we shutdown/warmstart JES2 in IPL, we have a command $PLINE(*)/$SLINE(*), we will get: *$HASP9203 LONG PCE DISPATCH 188 DURATION-000:00:17.76 PCE-COMM EXIT-NONE JOB ID-NONE COMMAND-$PLINE(*) $HASP003 RC=(25),P LINE(*) - NO SELECTABLE DEVICE(S) FOUND $HASP9301 JES2 MAIN TASK ALERTS CLEARED I checked, we don't have any LINE defined, why this command would spend so much time? Not sure if MASDEF related, MASDEF DORMANCY=(100,500), HOLD=0, LOCKOUT=1000, </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
