ABSTRACT OF PROBLEM
___________________
An  excessive  tape queue can cause UWB1 to issue repeated DLAYC
macros, potentially locking out the input list.

COMMENTS ON PROBLEM
___________________
In central data base routine UWB1 case 4, a DLAYC loop  is  exe-
cuted  when  the  tape  queue  length is more than 100.   If the
excessive queue persists, the ECB will  keep  returning  to  the
input  list,  potentially  locking  out  other  ECBs and causing
system errors.
 

SOLUTION
________
To prevent the looping  ECB  from  locking  out  other  ECBs,  a
maximum  number  of  DLYACs will now be issued.  This maximum is
set by variable #TPFDBDY in ACPDBE,  which  customers  can  cus-
tomize.    When  the maximum number of DLYACs is exceeded, a new
loop is entered where the ECB will use EVNTC/EVNWC macros with a
one second timeout to avoid the  repeated  trips  to  the  input
list.  This will allow other ECBs to continue processing.
 
This APAR only affects TPF customers.
