    I'm confused by the phrase ""after we have gone thru all 8 journals"".



    Do you mean after normal activity has kicked off 8 offloads? If so, the
    pattern here would be ""normal""; if when j2jrnl and j3jrnl were offloaded
    there were long-running run-units active at the time of the offload,
    causing a bunch of BFOR images to be left in the prior segment(s).
    These should go away with the next offload/compress.



    Have you gone through successive offloads (of the same journal) and the
    stuff is still there?

    We are running R16 sp7. Is there a utility to print the active
    journals.
    We had a region abend with a 3985 and after we have gone thru all 8
    journals the display still shows STUFF in 4 of the journals..

    We are going to format the journals to clean up the mess but I am just
    wondering what can be done to find out what is there...

    Any suggestions are welcome.....

    "Hi Bob:



    I don't see any answer to your question, in our case we just move from z/os 1.4 to z/os 1.9, its not the same but its very similar. The migration well planned run smooth without any special problem. If your client have some specific questions we can try to speak about it if its its necessary.



    Thanks.

    Re: IDMS / COBOL Debugging Tools
    "We use ASG Smart Test with the IDMS option (originally from Viasoft, which ASG bought quite awhile ago). Anyway, it is very effective in debugging IDMS batch programs. If you don't have Smart test, debugging an IDMS COBOL trace is just like any other COBOL program: put displays in the appropriate points in the program and take it from there. If the program is abending, then standard dump reading skills are required. To find data fields in the dump, you will need the program compiled with at least the MAP option, and then using TGT to find the base locators for the fields needed, you can find the data you need. That is all I can tell you since your question is so general in nature. If you programmer has a specific problem, then post it here and perhaps we can help further.
