- I'm not sure what REL/PLTF stands for, so I hope I filled in the blank
- properly :-).
-
- Last week, running the SAS/ACCESS Interface to ADABAS using SAS 6.07 under
- MVS/ESA, we experienced an ADABAS response code 71. Once one job gets
- the response code 71, *no one* (no TSO, batch, or CICS user) can access the
- ADABAS database until our ADABAS guys manually clean up the user queues.
- According to a trace taken using Treehouse's TRIM, SAS/ACCESS is not issuing
- Release Commands, is not re-using Command ID's, and is leaving user queues
- hanging. We only noticed the problem when users really started using
- SAS/ACCESS, and enough SAS/ACCESS jobs ran to fill the TBI pool. Given that
- this SAS problem affects our online transaction processing, I have asked
- my SAS/ACCESS users to stop using it until the problem is solved. SAS
- Institute is working on the problem (tracking number 249881).
-
- So, why am I writing? Because we're upgrading our mainframe on August 9th,
- and our current production SAS-ADABAS interface (EXTRACT/A under SAS 5.16)
- won't work on the new mainframe. The current version is dependent on the CPU
- ID. Before the vendor went out of business, they sent us a version that is
- not dependent on the CPU ID, but it requires an obsolete version of PREDICT
- (the ADABAS data dictionary), which we don't have and almost certainly can't
- get. As you can see, we're in a bind. My manager and I hope you can help.
-
- Has anyone else in SAS-Land experienced this response code 71 problem? If so,
- how did you deal with it? Any advice on dealing with the situation in
- general?
-
- Your help is appreciated!
