Are you sure about that? I've
I must be doing something wrong then since we have seen several problems
in the past couple of years (certainly less than 20 years) with using
FORCE.

Again, I disagree.
Most of the issues with FORCE went away 20 years ago.
And, there are many reasons
Hi Rob,
The command "D R,R,CN=(ALL)" did the trick.
I tried it first in ISPF Panel 6 to ensure it gave the correct results before
putting it into the REXX routine.
I am now correctly capturing the outstanding reply information for IMS which

Human resources well spent, I might add. In a large shop there may be
more than one person updating the LINKLIST. By issuing 'F LLA,REFRESH'
you may cause new code to be picked up before it should be (ie. may
require updates to LPA to be concurrent). Always take the least invasive
option. It is wor

I disagree. Sometimes you have to FORCE. For example, you have an address space
swapped out.
CANCEL won't take effect until it swaps back in.
