What operating system? z/VM, z/OS, z/VSE, z/Linux, other? >From looking at: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/IEA2H7B0/3.38
on z/OS, a hard wait code of "040" (last 3 hex digits of PSW) would indicate that an abend 878 occurred. This seems to be a GETMAIN type error of some sort. Has this system ever IPL'd successfully? Have you recently made some changes? As a total SWAG, you may have run out of SQA in NIP. If so, you can address this in the LOADnn member you used at IPL time. Put in a statement like: INITSQA ?K ?K replacing the ? with the number of kilobytes to be _added_ to the default SQA size. ref: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/IEA2E2B0/66.9 <quote> INITSQA The INITSQA statement allows additional SQA and ESQA storage to be reserved for IPL and NIP processing when the default amount is not sufficient. Note that increasing the minimum below the line SQA allocation must be done with caution to ensure that it does not affect the lower boundary of CSA storage. (See SQA in topic 54.8.65 for additional information about specifying SQA storage.) If a syntax error exists, the entire statement is ignored and message IEA368I is issued. Column Contents 1-7 INITSQA 10-14 The amount of SQA to be added to the default initial amount. If blank, no SQA is added. If non-blank, a 4-digit numeric value followed by a multiplier of K or M must be specified. Value Range: 0000K to 2048K or 0000M to 0002M Default: 0000K 16-20 The amount of ESQA to be added to the default initial amount. If blank, no ESQA is added. If non-blank, a 4-digit numeric value followed by a multiplier of K or M must be specified. Value Range: 0000K to 8192K or 0000M to 0016M Default: 0000K </quote> On Wed, Jul 3, 2013 at 9:13 AM, SrinivasG <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi , > > During IPL , I am getting a wait state.

If this had been an actual emergency, do you really think we'd stick around to tell you?
