Upgrade to z/OS 1.10, but you probably didn't want to hear that one. HIGH RISK: IF your CICS applications are defined as "threadsafe", you *MIGHT* get away with STIMER[M] if the task is running on an open TCB at the time. If it's running on the QR, though, your whole CICS region will wait for the timer to pop. -jc- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
