Yes, I saw it's not a wait state. A check stop is the result of a hardware malfunctioning. Do a find on 'check stop' (not stopped) in POP. Maybe you can find the explanation of the 0C, possibly a bit-combination i.s.o. a value. Otherwise, you might have to consult the z13 manual for its

Identifying creator of SMF records

Is there a way to identify what is creating user written SMF records? We have 210s, 230s and 254s that we can't identify the source. We've dumped the records and looked at them. Some give hints (e.g. the 230s look like perhaps CA OpsMVS, the 254s perhaps something related to SAF). TIA Alan

JES3 does device allocation before the job is allowed to run. For tape drives it grabs the needed number of drives so you do not run into "Waiting for a Drive" issues. It did the same back in the mountable DASD days. I think it also tracks Tape Volumes so you do not run into "I need Volume X"
