Apparently we ran into another of those PDSE latch contention bugs. While

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.

Thanks and regards, Barbara


Hi Barbara,

PDSE's causing issues? Say it ain't so! Did you try a $PI for the offending initiator before the FORCE? I've never had to FORCE an initiator before. Hopefully you got some dumps and sent this to IBM with a PMR. I'd be interested to see how this works out.

Regards,
Tom Conley
