The ZCIOWAIT Resource Name is not given in Tmon, so I am not sure what is kind 
of resource the task waiting. 
The task is shipping record to another CICS region. So I guess first maybe the 
cics setting have some problem, second  the program in another region response 
slowly. Is it possible CICS setting problem?
