I do not see any indication of what may have happened. Anyone have any ideas of what I should look at? It could be, as Scott Rohling says, that RACFVM is dead in the water. Look at the console and you could also use SECUSER to IPL 490 to get it started again. The other situation we see where this message occurs when RACFVM is not dead is when a user with SPECIAL attribute logs on but gets the password wrong. There is a message on the operator console waiting for a response and, during this time, such a message can occur. The final possibility is that your system is heavily loaded and RACFVM is not getting sufficient share. This can result in transient HCP6525E messages. Colin Allinson Amadeus Data Processing GmbH
