This is a very good debugging trick. This is how we isolated faulty channels over the years, especially those remote PPRC channels. We unplugged a few at a time to see what happens and soon discovered which channels were defective. Those unplugging trick also worked well when trying debug a 'dead' PC. ;-) Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
