PORTMAP should come up and stay up. The "5" means to check every 5 minutes to see if the stc is active and, if not, then start it. You need to see why PORTMAP is failing to say up. > Is the solution to comment out PORTMAP under the AUTOLOG > statement? Is > that safe? It is safe unless you are using something which requires PORTMAP to be up. The only thing that I know of that requires PORTMAP is if you are running an NFS server on your z/OS image. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
