RE: AS/400 Locking up

Joe,

Do you have a job that does a great deal of journal entry retrieval?  Each
time you retrieve entries from a journal a temporary space is used.  An
entry retrieval consists of a single entry or a block of entries.  In either
case a temporary space is used.  When all your temporary spaces are gone odd
things can happen.

Subject: AS/400 Locking up


About 30 days ago for the first time, my little 170 just locked up.  TCP
and Twinax stopped working, no error code on the front panel, the power
light was green, and the processor light was lit up solid.   After
talking with IBM (hours later), I had to manual power down.  Once back
up, there were no error listings in any of the logs or in Service Tools.
 Then 2 weeks later, it did it again.  Then over this past weekend,
again yesterday and now this morning.  Hardware support thinks it's
software.  I am on hourly support with Software, and I don't want to
spend the money just find out it's an IBM issue ($250 an hour is not in
my budget).  I upgrade to v5r1 ,with all the PTFs at the time, in
February.  Nothing new has been added since then.  Other then ordering
the latest CUM (which I did), I am stumped.  Has anyone ran into this
before?
