We use EXEC PGM=IEFBR15, but the funny thing was when I used EXEC PGM=KABOOM or something like that (because obviously it doesn't matter what you use as long as the program doesn't exist), some incident manager informed me that the standard to force an S806 abend was to use program IEFBR15 and that I should not start using my own programs :-)

A Long Time Ago, In A...well, you get the idea...there was an IBM recommendation from ITSO or WSC (I don't recall which) to run one IEFBR15 per CP in a unique reporting performance group (RPGN), and subtract the time spent in that RPGN from 100% to find true CPU busy on systems that might have low utilization effects.
A later dispatcher update made this unnecessary, but there might still be copies of that program lying around here and there with that name. BR15 is, of course, a very efficient loop. It's probably worth a quick check on your system to make sure it's not there, just in case, in these days of VWLC.
Just a thought. -- John Eells z/OS Technical Marketing IBM Poughkeepsie [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
