It's quick enough and always fixes the problem. > Lots more of this in a few IBM APARs. OY45900, OW51308 and II07133. You need IBMLINK to look at OY45900 and OW51308 as I can't find a docview link to them. OY45900 doesn't mention anything about "round robin" usage of the converter tasks: "Thus, if there are multiple Converter PCEs / tasks it will be necessary to abend JES2 and restart it to guarantee that all proclibs are freshly opened ($P JES2,ABEND .. HOTSTART)." And here in II07133 (from 1993) there is more... http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1II07133 However, II07133 says: Note: It is NOT necessary to force a close and open of a Proclib after it's been compressed. Any I/O errors resulting from a compress would have occurred while the compress was in progress, and THAT would have forced a close and open of the proclib. If no I/O errors occurred while the compress was in progress, then no I/O errors would be expected after the compress had completed, and thus it is NOT necessary to perform the close and open. In my experience, the statement above is not true. I have seen problems caused by compress when no I/O errors occurred. OW51308 is more recent and mentions using the dynamic proclib facility in z/OS 1.2 instead of bouncing JES2. But it doesn't mention anything about a COMPRESS.
