No, but I have run into this after a new z/VM installation. I wondered about this as well, but have not had the chance to pursue.
Yes, it doesn't make sense that it seems to understand the command, seems to adjust the values, but doesn't use the new values in it's operation. Frank M.

You mean.... It is IMPOSSIBLE to change thresholds without stopping and restarting the PERFSVM? :-( Isn't it strange that PTK *does* know about my new settings (as shown in results of FC USRLIMIT QUERY) but doesn't obey them? And doesn't anyone else have shifts with differing job characteristics? Strange....
