Hi Scott,
Thank you for the reply.
- PLOT TWIST: Discovered yday that in addition to "UNIT=WORK" esoteric being
impacted, "UNIT=BATCH" also produces the "IEF877E Device Offline" reply
message. Albeit, "UNIT=BAT" works.
- The SMS CDS' were copied from another system then "stripped down" versus
starting with a scratch set of CDS and building it out. This was not my
decision and it concerns me that there may be "residue" from the source LPAR.
- In HCD these devices are not defined w/ a token. Internet search mentions
that token mismatch can cause this sort thing however, using IPCS to review
could not definitely rule this out. (see add'l info below)
- Allocation msgs for UNIT=WRK included below. UNIT=WORK job's msg log
consists of only the IEF506I msg.
Best regards,
Bob
