Another SAP won't start thread.

[Former Member]

Hello All

I've just created a new instance TST as copy of my production system using the SAVLIB / RSTLIB method. I followed very carefully Volker's document. However the new system will not start. We are 4.6C with 4.6D EBCDIC Ext kernel on V5R3.

Help!

Here is my sapstart log

I've been looking at this all day and the answer has just come to me 2 minutes after making the post. My startup profiles have £ signs instead of $. Must be some code page issue. Quite ironic as the reason for the TST copy was to start testing our CPC conversion.

I'd still be quite interested if anyone knows why I got £'s.

Hello Steve,

you should check 2 things here.

1. the job you used to view or edit IFS files. It needs to have CCSID(500). Check it with DSPJOB, option 2.

2. check the IFS file you are working on. It also need to have a given codepage (500=EBCDIC, 819=ASCII or 1208=Unicode, depending on the kernel you are using).

Best regards,
