ASLWAIT is a program that will wait for an ECB to be posted that will
never be posted! In other words the program will never end unless it is
canceled or stopped by operator command.
ASLWAIT can be used to simulate a long running task as the program
will run until a STOP(P)command is issued for it TIME (parameter permitting
of course). ASLWAIT also allows for messages to be issued at start-up,
shutdown or both. This is particularly useful if you want to test
out 'what if' scenarios for automation.
ASLWAIT has an alias of IEFWAIT as this used to be the name of
the program and some older programs still call the program as this name. If
this does not apply to your site, then the alias is not needed.
ASLWAIT comes with a non-executable assembler program named ASLDCBS
which simply defines the DCBs that many Abbydale Systems programs.
Detail on ASLDCBS can be found
here.
If you choose to install ASLWAIT then you need to follow the steps
