RE: errors -- MIDRANGE-L

We are on release 5.1.01.  yes we did try everything.  We could not get any
CPU to hold, end, change in anyway, any job.  We could not end the
subsystem, any subsystem.  We had to manually ipl the box.

        First : what level of BPCS?
        Then did you try to put the jobs on HOLD, then try 4 *immed and if
that did
        not do it, did you try endjobabn command....

                        I had an interesting problem (opportunity) today.
Our 640
        locked up around
                        10:30 this morning.  We had about 5 jobs in QINTER
that
        brought the system
                        to its knees.  We could not cancel the jobs in any
form.
        IBM could not help
                        us cancel the jobs.  Finally we decided the only
option was
        to IPL.   The
                        joblogs wrapped so we do not know what exactly
happened.
        Listed below is a
                        portion of the joblog that repeated itself.  In 40
seconds
        it had repeated
                        this 8,400 pages.  IBM thinks the problem is in
BPCS.  I
        don't know what to
                        think.  If anyone has ever heard or seen this please
let me
        know.
