Hi all,
One of the programmers has found an interesting little issue. I ma not a
400 person so I will paste it in below verbatim.
Let me know if you need anymore info.
"Hi Rich,
I quite by accident found another problem... (Kinda big problem).
It seems that when a program fails, and attempts to send a message
back to the screen, it doesn't do anything. The session stays as locked
to activity, and would run forever (you have to actually at least until
you end the job). The message type I invoked was a CPF message but I
have a feeling it will happen with other messages as well. Normally the
program waits until you enter in the option you want the system to take (C
G S D or F), but since the message was not sent anywhere, there was no way
to respond to the message, so the program continued to sit
there. The program should have sent the message to the jobs message queue
as a *BREAK type and provided a place for the reply (see page 3). Pages 1
and 2 are how it worked on my machine. I tried the exact same thing on
one of the regular users machine (signed on as myself) and the message
popped up the way it is suppose to.
Also, when this happens, the system request process doesn't work. I
called up system request and put in a 2 to end the job and it didn't do
anything, job still remained there. Then I tried a 1 to call up an
alternate session and nothing happened. It's possible the 2 are
connected because I got Arnel to try the SysReq when it wasn't in this
stuck mode and it worked as expected.
If you need more info, let me know.
Thanks, Lori"
