WAIT

Use the WAIT keyword when the host system, a component of Infoprint Server, or a program that services Infoprint Server suspends activity, without sending a message. If you suspect a wait condition, ask the operator to request a dump by using the z/OS system command DUMP, as described in z/OS MVS System Commands. Make sure that the SDATA operand of the command contains RGN. Then cancel the Infoprint Server-started task.

This dump should contain the z/OS system trace table and the internal trace table for the affected Infoprint Server component.

Inspect the dump to see whether the wait bit is on in the program status word (PSW).

Do not use this keyword if the wait occurs after an abnormal end, as the result of an unanswered message, or because of an endless loop in an Infoprint Server component. Instead, use the ABEND or LOOP keywords.
