However, the problem is NOT with Eric's LSVCARDR routine, but with DIAG14. It seems that when doing a loop of DIAG14s (which LISTSERV does), and a new reader file pops in....Voila! Problems! We wound up have hundreds of files marked inuse in LISTSERV's reader. I think I can IPL in my sleep now :-) I had recreated this problem a couple of months ago and did the ole tell IBM deal. We went to PUT 8805 with a couple of extra PTFs and the inuse problem went away. *sigh* But then, I started having other problems. Our LISTSERV bombed like yours did one Friday night. I didn't come in and discover the problem until Sunday. There were hundreds of files in LISTSERV's reader. I AUTOLOG'd LISTSERV and it would not stay running for more than 1 minute without bombing! I substituted the LSVCARDR module for one that I had modified to print out the condition/return codes (from DIAG14) and the block number it was reading. Guess what? LISTSERV quit ABENDing. Although, I don't know why this made a difference. Occasionally, LISTSERV gets a 'reader busy' from DIAG14 and transfers the offending file to me. I just transfer it right back and everyone is happy. I have left my 'debug' module in place and have no intentions of removing it until IBM fixes their DIAG14 problems. I haven't had time to recreate the problem standalone, but I will do so soon. The problem will usually hit you when the links come up and LISTSERV is processing files while more are coming in. Just be glad it has only happened to you twice! :-) Darren P.S. - We're running LISTSERV 1.5o (FIX15O1) on VM/SP HPO 5.0 PUT 8805+
