I have already gone the VTAM Inact route but I have not tried it for EVERYONE.
If I do temporarily kick everyone to the curb so that the dead node can be deleted, I have yet to find a JES command to delete a node. Best guess at this point, using your theory is to: Shut all JES2 connectivity that could potential lead me to the node to be removed. But If I had command to shut connectivity, my problem would be solved. $TNODE(BADBOY),NAME=GOAWAY No one will know who GOAWAY is and routing to anywhere should fail. Awkward, but potentially effective ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
