The system involved duplicated the second at 23:59:59 so a time reading late in the first occurrence subtracted from a reading early in the second occurrence produced a negative elapsed time. A validity check failed and triggered a shutdown.

Did it happen on z/OS? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
