Help, please. Running 1.8b under VM on old IBM mainframe. Machine was IPLed on Thurs nite, and since then LISTSERV doesn't run. 553 msgs are LISTSERVs Reader List. Have been queueing there since the IPL. You reboot LISTSERV, and if send msg to it when connected, no response. The TELL command gets to the LISTSERV account, but nothing happens. If you change it to disconnected, then say TELL LISTSERV HELP you get HCPMSG057I LISTSERV not receiving; disconnected Ready(00057); We have no mainframe person....he quit. There is a "consultant" but he knows nothing about LISTSERV. I know LISTSERV pretty well, but not the mainframe details. clues, please. Yes, we're not current on maintenance and such. But if we can't get this fixed I'll never be able to convince them to spring for the ten grand to get us caught up and moved to unix this semester.
