It appears you have run into the same problem one of our internal accounts encountered yesterday. It appears there is a time-of-day boundary check being performed inside the PERFKIT MODULE. Around Noon on 14 January, the TOD clock "rolled" from "BFxxxxxx xxxxxxxx" to "C0xxxxxx xxxxxxxx" and this TOD boundary check began failing. Here is a recent PMR update
There is a problem in the Perfkit discovered late yesterday due to the TOD Clock value changing to x'C0xxxxxx xxxxxxxx'. We have the Perfkit fix(s) on our 'fromibm/vm' FTP site available as: PERF440 PACKMOD PERF510 PACKMOD PERF520 PACKMOD All should be xmitted using BIN F 1024 and unpacked using the CMS COPYFILE (UNPACK option. This should get customers up and running. We will follow thru with an official APAR shortly. Best Regards, Roger Lunsford action taken: supply fixtest action plan : work apar You can/should retrieve the fixtest version of PERFKIT from the FTP site. If you need information on that FTP site, please let me know. You can/should also open a service incident with this problem so we can add you to the (eventual) APAR's interested party's list. Thanks!

Toolkit since last summer with no problems other than the strange, to me, command interface and output. Over the weekend, PERFKIT running on PERFSVM abended. I restarted it and within about 10 minutes, it abended again. I've done MON SAMPLE DIS ALL and MON EVENT DIS ALL, letting PERFSVM restart monitoring and still have abends. The last thing I did was PURGE and DEFSEG and SAVESEG MONDCSS. I still got an abend. I know you've heard this before, but "I haven't changed anything". Does anyone have any ideas? As I said, I'm on z/VM 4.4 which is out of service so I can't call the support center. Jim -- Jim Bohnsack Cornell University (607) 255-1760 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
