:>I'm trying to get a feel for problems that occur in the early stages of z/OS system start up (e.g. IPL/NIP).

When I stick in early IPL code - not that frequent. :>2. DURATION: How long does it take to resolve them (e.g. minutes, hours, etc.) ? Usually not long. :>3.

RECOVERY: How do you recover from them ? Sometimes poking in storage (under VM) is enough - otherwise an SA diump. -- Binyamin Dissen <[email protected]> http://www.dissensoftware.com Director, Dissen Software, Bar & Grill - Israel Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me, you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.
