Don, Many Thanks sir. I forgot to look in init&tuning ref. Have you ever used ISRFIND to locate LPA modules? I use it regularly to locate where mods are executed from and normally when a module is in MLPA, ISRFIND, sees/finds it. In this case however I do not see the MLPA module...only the PLPA version. Perhaps ISRFIND is quirky. What do you use to locate MLPA modules, simply rely on IEALPAxx? Regards, Jeff Jeff Ruegsegger LPA is searched in this order: a. Dynamic LPA modules, as specified in PROGxx members b. Fixed LPA (FLPA) modules, as specified in IEAFIXxx members c. Modified LPA (MLPA) modules, as specified in IEALPAxx members d.

DFSMSdss Physical dumps of 3390 Mod 27
We recently completed a DASD refresh and we opted to migrate off 3390-3's to 3390-9's and 3390-27's. As such we have had to change our daily and weekly volume backups from a physical to logical dump with the following additional sub- keywords of SHARE and WAIT(1,2). This however causes some datasets to not get backed up as we do not get standalone time for our backups. We were forced into the logical dump mode as the physical dumps were causing elongated RESERVE's (converted to global ENQUEUES by CA-MIM) and would spend hours thrashing due to the synchronous batch that runs. Obviously this was happening on the smaller devices all along but it happened in such a short time (1/9th the # of datasets) that it did not cause a problem. Doe's anyone have any similar experiences to share and possible solutions. Environment: EMC DMX4 (Escon) and we do not have SNAP, but we do have TF Mirror S/W but no extra disk for using mirror. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

IEFU29 - Intermittently does not get control

Interestingly I moved the "I SMF" command just a few minutes later and U29 seems to get control just fine.
