Example of EXSPATxx

If you specify more than one action, the system executes the actions in the order of their specification. For example, if you code

SPINRCVY      ABEND,ACR
SPINTIME=30

the system allows the excessive spin to continue for about 30 seconds and then issues a SPIN action before your first recovery action, issuing an informational message and allowing the excessive spin to continue for another 30 seconds. The system then issues ABEND 071 to end the unit of work that is causing the spin and takes a SLIP dump if the installation is running with the IBM-supplied default for IEASLPxx. The recovery routines for that unit of work try to recover; if they fail, the spin is allowed to continue for 30 seconds. Finally, the system initiates ACR (alternate CPU recovery) to take the processor that is causing the spin offline.

Note: After the processor is taken offline, it can be brought back online by the operator through the CF CPU(x),ONLINE command.
