If you did a 'devinit 10C' then your job has never entered the system at all as 10C is not under JES2 control and was never meant to be.  Even if you were to start a reader on 10c, the configuration glitch you seem to have might prevent installation of the newer RPF.

So does that mean I just need to change my RDR to 000C? there does not seem to be a device assigned there now.

Or Perhaps I can place 010C under JES2 control?
