Occasionally I will get a runaway user during : this store. The store gets to the point of accessing the virtual tape : file and then "hangs". I can abort the offending user but I cannot abort : the job. If I rename the virtual tape file and run the job again it : works (after the user has been aborted, of course). This has happened : once when I was storing to an 8mm tape device also. Any suggestions that : would save waiting for a reboot to get the "hung job" off of the system? Try a BREAKJOB #Jnnn as this generally can break thru the wait states and then the ABORTJOB can take effect. A RESUMEJOB may be required to let everything clear out. -- James Overman HP Support Technology Lab Roseville, CA
