Aha - that's the problem. Make sure that batch jobs such as your SMP/E RECEIVE command job include a valid DNS hierarchy.
As is often the case, there's a bunch of different ways to specify this, but one way, which I use on my system, is to code a SYSTCPD DD statement, pointing to a parameter file with the following statements: NSINTERADDR x.x.x.x NSINTERADDR y.y.y.y You should be able to validate this by the following JCL: //S1 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01 //SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSTCPD DD DSN=tcpip.data,DISP=SHR //SYSTSIN DD * ping inetsd01.boulder.ibm.com /* If I run this job and omit the SYSTCPD, I get the following: READY ping inetsd01.boulder.ibm.com EZZ3111I Unknown host 'INETSD01.BOULDER.IBM.COM' READY END If I run this job with my valid SYSTCPD, I get the following: READY ping inetsd01.boulder.ibm.com CS V1R7: Pinging host INETSD01.BOULDER.IBM.COM (207.25.253.62) Ping #1 timed out READY END That's why I think your problem is a bad SYSTCPD NSINTERADDR value.
