Anyone got burned by issuing the Force command (without ARM) and had to re-ipl?
I myself have had issued FORCE without ARM to terminate a rogue batch job that just wont budge using repeated CANCEL and KILL. I've been fortunate that night to not have had to re-IPL our system. z/OS 1.9 FORCE COMMAND WARNING "Consider using the FORCE command as a last resort when the CANCEL command still fails to perform its function after you have issued it several times." Gone is the other warning that states: (circa 1996) Never use the FORCE command without understanding that - After issuing FORCE, you might have to re-IPL." << something to that effect. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
