Any chance the tape is in use on another LPAR or in another function? In my experience this is usually the case. ddk
///////////////////////////////// Hello, I've issued this tso hsend cmd: "hsend expirebv abarsversions(agname(bkmcics) retainversions(0)) display" and have been waiting for over an hour for the response to the terminal. When I issue an tso hsend q req, I see but only a tape being recycled, and 0000 MWEs ahead of my simple request: ARC0161I RECYCLING VOLUME C42845 FOR USER W#CRM, REQUEST 00251220 ARC0167I COMMAND MWE FOR COMMAND EXPIREBV ABARSVERSIONS(AGNAME(BKMCICS) ARC0167I (CONT.) RETAINVERSIONS(0)) DISPLAY FOR USER xxxxx, REQUEST 00251555 ARC0167I (CONT.) WAITING TO BE PROCESSED, 00000 MWE(S) AHEAD OF THIS ONE hsend q act shows that expirebv is not held on this lpar: EXPIREBV=NOT HELD AND ACTIVE So why would this expirebv command seem to be queued up behind something and not complete and return the info? Likely a simple explanation but now I'm scratchin' my head thanks This e-mail message and all attachments transmitted with it may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).
