What does it mean when a job is in SELW

[Jeff Crosby <jlcrosby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The subject says it all.  We have a job in SELW.


I found this online:

"SELW: The initial thread of the job is in a select wait.  More information
on the select() function is in the Sockets APIs chapter in the APIs
topic collection in the Programming category in the IBM i
Information Center at http://www.ibm.com/systems/i/infocenter/.

"Generally you do not have to do anything. The job is just waiting for some
activity before it continues. Many times it is an IBM job. We have a bar
coding application that will put jobs in this status while waiting for
someone to scan something.-- "

We're not "barcoding" in this app.  But that doesn't really make any sense
to me.  The job that's waiting is an online order coming in, so it's pretty
important.  Normally 100+ orders a day handles this way.  It went to TIMW
for a short time, now back to SELW.

V7R1, current on PTFs.  BRMS save while active backup is still running
because IT didn't start at the normal 3am.  CPU is at 98%+.

Help!
