Unable to locate table in specified datasource for section.....

List:

I have 2 custom UBEs that abended
w/the error msg stated in the subject.

Both run locally (as we do not wish to
risk a package build messing up during
busy season).

Both are based on addr book selecting
17,000+ records out of 3,000,000+ records.

Both do SALES DETAIL and SALES HISTORY
(f4211, f42119) chases for each addr book record
selected.

Due to the volume of data, and the fact that our
400 is _damn_slow_ (and no one can quite figure
out why (jde, ibm, consultants)) we have to run
these overnight.

They routinely run for 6+ hours (each) and
routinely run to completion. They can and
do run concurrently, and to date I've not
had a problem with this.

Both have been running to completion for
several weeks now.

Last night, BOTH were running when they
abended at the SAME TIME. Both gave the
error "Unable to locate table in specified
datasource for section: ...".

In this case, the table/section that was being referenced
was F42119 (sales history).

One had already processed for 6 hours
without any problems. The other had processed
for 3+ hours, again no problems.

Being clueless (in general, as well as to this specific):

Why would, in the middle of processing, a UBE
suddenly not find a table that it had been working with?

What "connection" could break, in the middle
of the run, that this would occur?

What can be done to prevent this from happening
again?

Any/all help/suggestion/guidance/wisdom is greatly appreciated.

TIA

PS - I realize that this is sent to the 2 OW lists. I apologize for the
duplicate threads, but I wanted to increase my chances of finding
an answer. Is it possible to post to BOTH OW lists/forums w/out
creating two threads?

List/Forum: This is still happening,
but I am dropping this thread if favor
of the one on the OW/XE Developers forum.

SHOULD YOU KNOW WHAT CAUSES THE
"Unable to locate table in specified
datasource" to occur AS a pgm is processing
(and _has_ read records from that table in
that datasource" PLEASE respond.

TIA
