It sounds like you're in need of RUNCHAIN. You can define the pointer and you can add a max number of link to go through. See the MVS IPCS commands manual. Bart
-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dave Day Sent: Monday, September 17, 2012 1:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: IPCS help needed Looking at an SVC dump of my application. Dump was produced by my FRR when the SRB that was running timed out. 05B abend. I set a timer when the SRB initially kicks off. The logic in the SRB is processing some data areas, working its way from top to bottom in a linked/chained list of these same sized data areas. The list in the dump has thousands of entries. One of two possibilities. Either the linked list has an invalid chain ptr, and the code is running in circles. Or, the list is good, and I just needed to give the code a longer period of time to run. My question. Is there a way within IPCS I can describe the data area containing the chain pointer, and then run some kind of a command that would run the list to determine if the list is good or not? I'm in the IPCS manuals right now, but if its there, its not jumping out at me. Any help would be appreciated. --Dave Day ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
