Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• After converting PRF V2.1 inclusion files to V2.2, PRF jobs will
  loop during startup if none of the PRF V2.1 inclusion options
  include a CKPTID parameter.
  

Local fix

• Use the ISPF interface to go to Option 5 (Global Opts) from the
  PRF main menu, then choose Option 4 (IMS PROC). Update the
  CKPTID value, issue the SAVE command, then remove the CKPTID
  value and re-issue the SAVE command.

  called under this specific circumstance. This branch causes a
  tight CPU loop which can only be broken by cancelling the job.
