As one of the other posters recommended. USE VSMCHECKREGIONLOSS in DIAGxx. I checks for fragmentation and automatically drains/restarts the initiatior thus, you do not have to review the dump.
HTH, <snip> Most likely the problem is going to be storage fragmentation for below the line. Barbara's answer of using 0M for the region on that step will be tested today. If it works, I will just go back to bed (it was a very bad night) S822 is not one of my more favorite abends to deal with. For me it is a time consuming process of going through storage to find the fragmentation. </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
