(OK, not looking into EVERY file, but often getting a sense for what and how many have changed). And true, when running the SERVICE command, many disks are accessed and released to process the different components in the service package. But my home-grown FINDFILE EXEC can be used to search for all files on all LINKed mdisks that would match FILELIST options (such as "TODAY"). You should be able to see what VMSES/E accomplished (or failed to accomplish) by entering: FL * $MSGLOG* * Browse the recently updated files, watching carefully for errors in anything to which you applied service. The VMSES/E command 'VMFVIEW' permits you to view the same files, and can be used to "separate the chaff from the wheat". But I like to see the whole story, especially if anything seems to have gone wrong. What you do then depends on what you observe in the MSGLOG files.

Did it fail earlier, leaving something logged on - perhaps an I'd like; BLDxxx? Regardless, issue a CP Q LINKS 490 and see which userid has it linked. Also (rather than just telling you what it means) look up the CP LINK command to better understand link mode 'M'. Between those pieces of info you'll probably figure out what to do on your own.
