We are using it at least twice a month, unfortunately. One business-critical task is taking a S0C4 occasionally, and won't cancel since it's swapped out. So, it's: CANCEL <task> FORCE <task> FORCE <task>,ARM <wait> START <task> We have been waiting on the vendor for a fix since November. We have received a few broken fixes, but we are still waiting. It's a niche product, so we don't have much choice. BTW, we haven't had a problem with FORCE, yet. But, the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. When in doubt.
