Apparently we ran into another of those PDSE latch contention bugs. While terminating the holder of the latch, we had to force the batch job since cancel had absolutely no effect.
We got messages IEF743I INIT FORCED - CODE SA22 - IN ADDRESS SPACE 0040 IEF743I AUTO39P FORCED - CODE SA22 - IN ADDRESS SPACE 0040 $HASP310 AUTO39P TERMINATED AT END OF MEMORY $HASP310 INIT TERMINATED AT END OF MEMORY According to the books, IEF743I means "System action: The job and address space end." Unfortunately that does not seem to be the case. There is no indication that I can find in hardcopy log that the address space (Initiator) got restarted, and the dump that I took 17 minutes later shows the address space still up with ASCBEWST (address space last lost control) about 1s after $HASP310 INIT TERMINATED AT END OF MEMORY. I do see the initiator restarted 25 minutes after. I don't have a batch job that is non-cancelable, so I cannot test the force command on a batch job running in an initiator. Does anyone know for sure how memterm processing due to force goes for an initiator? Does the initiator really terminate? Our problem turned from Latch contention into ENQ contention, with that INIT holding a vital ENQ and not releasing it.
