If the system has uses up all of the actions on the SPINRCVY statement in parmlib member EXSPATxx, it loads a nonrestartable 0A1 wait state. Unfortunately, I don't see this fact stated in the EXSPATxx documentation. There is no way to specify endless spinning. However, SPINTIME=999 SPINRCVY=SPIN,SPIN,SPIN,SPIN,SPIN,SPIN,SPIN,SPIN will result in 10 * 999 = 9999 seconds = 166 minutes of spin time before the 0A1 wait state gets loaded. If you explain what you are really trying to accomplish, I might be able to provide a more useful answer. Jim Mulder z/OS System Test IBM Corp.
