I was doing this in the 1990’s. I would look through the report to see if there were possibly duplicates. If there was I would fire up ibmlink and do a search on the modules and abend code. I almost always get a hit. I would research the apartment and look up the pff number and it would go in ASAP (scheduled IPL every weekend). Sometimes a system dump would show up as well. Kept an eye on those as well. It kept our system up and running and no strange things ever happened. I also kept a eagle eye on PSF bends as we were ECS and always needed the latest software available. I also was on a first name basis of level 2/3 for PSF issues. It was a lot of work because IMO PSF was bug ridden when we got it. Ed > > Any schooling you can give, would be most appreciated! But please, be gentle. > I'm out of my element.
