Hello: Last March we first installed zOS v1.11 onto our test sysplex and in the course of testing I looked at a number of dumps. I noticed in a few cases a s0c4 in the TCBCMP field of the INIT task. I did not see any LOGREC entry for such an event so I noted it and moved onto the "real" problem I was supposed to be addressing.
Over the last 11 months, I have seen this s0c4 in the TCBCMP field many times, on all of our sysplexes, even in asynchronous dumps from the console for jobs in a wait (that is, which were not in any kind of apparent abterm). I thought this might be Fault Analyzer, but I do not recall seeing this "INIT s0c4" before v1.11, and we ran FA under v1.9 without seeing this TCBCMP. Now, at this time I do not consider this a problem: I do not know what is failing given that there are no dumps or LOGRECs, so I have not opened an ETR. I did a few searches on IBMlink but I have not seen anything like this. Here is an example from a batch job whose jspgm task is in a WAIT and whose INIT task's TCBCMP shows this s0c4: TCB,AT CMP NTC OTC LTC TCB BACK PAGE 008FE050 00000000 00000000 00000000 008FF890 008FD0D0 00000000 00000068 008FD0D0 00000000 00000000 008FE050 00000000 008FF890 008FE050 00000074 008FF890 00000000 008FD0D0 008FE050 008FF0E0 008FF0E0 008FD0D0 00000077 008FF0E0 940C4000 00000000 008FF890 008CDA08 008CDA08 008FF890 00000081 008CDA08 00000000 00000000 008FF0E0 00000000 00000000 008FF0E0 00000086 I know it is not just our site because I looked at a dump yesterday from another site running v1.11 but with a very different mixture of OEM products, and I saw the same value in that dump's TCBCMP. regards, Joe D'Alessandro ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
