Try a commit statement before the line that is hanging, or run the
script on a session that was started with itemcommit.  I think its
probably a lock problem on the database.

Configuration as follows

Tsm server v5.3.4 running on suse sles9 64 bit under vm 5.1

I have a macro defined to create a device class for 3592 cartridges,
define the library, drives, and paths to talk to the 3494 with two 3592
drives.

IBMatl, and IBMtape are both installed, mtlib works, I have issued

Mtlib -l3494a -vqV -V volser

Where volser is a real 3590 volume (used by another tsm server), and I
get back the appropriate information.

However, when I execute the macro below, when it gets to "defin path dax
quark . . . "
It just hangs.  I have let it sit for 15 minutes, just hangs there.

Server is licenced for tsmee, tsmbasic, and dataret.
Where next??
Macro follows:
