Well there IS code before we "hop on the enclave". Authorisation code and 
the like. Not being that good a DB2 faker  :-) I don't know if there are 
user exits involved.

But, yes, it's possible the code in DIST other than Enclave is 
significant. You can always tell for Type 30: TCB and SRB vs Enclave SRB 
(part of TCB as it's Preemptible-Class).

I'm just aware that this would in my experience (FWIW) be a first: 
Non-enclave in DIST being a problem. But life is full of firsts. :-)

Hmmm - that might be the common lore.
DIST may indeed be the culprit rather than DDF enclaves.
Where I have seen this there is a *LOT* of enclaves being created - I 
presumed (without a lot of hard evidence) that the cost of setup/teardown 
was appearing in DIST. And, of course, DIST is an important address space, 
and runaway CPU consumption there hurts (almost) everyone else.

The OP indicated cancelling a single thread relieves the situation - 
should be easy enough to track down the likely suspect.
