-
- If the PID that has the device allocated is no longer on the system, you've
- encountered a VMS bug; contact your local office for a program that will
- free the device (also available on DSNlink).
-
- If the PID is currently on the system, a REPLY/USER to remind them usually
- works, and STOP/ID will do it, too.
