Agreed to the z/OS part. My ears are still ringing from the cursing my colleague did when he installed this on MVS. That thing just doesn't play on z/OS! But please keep in mind that this time around, it wasn't the culprit! That user was executing with an application named SQS (where just about no one here has an idea what it is). Never mind that the SQS server (that *supposedly* everything else executes under) was long gone when I noticed that user. My shutting down the fork service brought WBIFN to a halt, and probably rightly so. On the other hand, a 'real' MVS component would have had recovery in place with provisions for that service happening and terminating all on its own. Just think of the lengths IMS goes to *not* to have an MPR canceled from under it! >and that means tailoring for the z/OS platform. Which for the most part, isn't done or done improperly.
