No problem with me (in Belgium).


*OA38742: DIFFERENCE in ASMIORQR / ASMIORQC COUNTS become LARGE ENOUGH to
AFFECT FRAME STEAL PROCESSING and ASMIORQR INCREMENTED TOO HIGH*

            During AUX paging, I/O is scheduled to drive input and/or
output I/O to auxiliary page packs.  When an I/O error occurs and ASM I/O
completion exit gets control in ILRCMP, the abnormal termination entry
point ABNMTERM: gets control for the I/O error.

            When this happens, the ASM I/O is redriven, causing the ASVT
ASM 'received' counts to be incremented twice, thus never allowing the
'completed' counts (ASMIORQC) to equal the 'received' counts (AMIORQR).  If
this continues for too long, the difference between the received-completed
counts grows large enough to begin impacting RSM frame steal processing.


Apar has just been openend for a few days, Barbara.

Hence no PTF yet;  no aparfix either.
