It has to do with the CMS SET INSTSEG setting. If the critter in question lives on a disk higher in the file mode of the INSTSEG setting, then that copy is going to get the priority.
For instance ours is normal set to file mode L. I set it to A and copied FILELIST EXEC from the 190 to my A disk. Execstat shows it will still execute from memory. Set INSTSEG to L and execstat now says it will run from disk. q instseg INSTSEG = ON L Ready; T=0.01/0.01 12:07:58 set instseg on A Ready; T=0.01/0.01 12:08:09 execstat filelist exec Ready; T=0.01/0.01 12:08:15 xcopy filelist exec s = = a Ready; T=0.01/0.01 12:08:20 execstat filelist exec Ready; T=0.01/0.01 12:08:21 set instseg on l Ready; T=0.01/0.01 12:08:25 execstat filelist exec Ready(00004); T=0.01/0.01 12:08:27 _______________________________________ James Vincent Systems Engineering Consultant Nationwide Services Co., Technology Solutions Mainframe, z/VM and z/Linux Support One Nationwide Plaza 3-20-13 Columbus OH 43215-2220 U.S.A Voice: (614) 249-5547 Fax: (614) 677-7681 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The IBM z/VM Operating System <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU> wrote on 03/09/2007 11:35:48 AM: > IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU > > I'm wondering what "priority" means in HELP EXECSTAT: > > With the RESident Option: > > Code Meaning > > 0 Exec exists in storage.
