Howdy,

And to all those who replied - many thanks.

I tried all suggestions and finally called HPRC.  Well if Glance shows
your process is in a LONG WAIT and the wait is CONTROL BLOCK
ya can go IPL yer system (what's 7x24 mean anyhow?).  This is
true of our system which is 5.0 exp/pp 3.  Can't even shut the
system down properly, it just goes to SHUT 3 (jobs and sessions)
and hangs.

Didn't seem to cause any problems in the four days it was running,
just used 9 seconds of cpu and nil I/O.  Doe's the same thing happen
on other versions of the OS?  Don't know I was too disgusted to ask.

Anyhow just an FYI.

Ummm Why was it that when I was young life was complex because
I lacked experiance and now that I'm experianced life is complex
because I'm not young?
