UNABLE TO FREE PRE-REFRESH ASR BECAUSE IT IS STILL IN USE BY JOB(S):
jobname1 jobname2

PLEASE REPLY (C) TO CANCEL THE WAIT AND LEAVE THE OLD ASR IN EXTENDED CSA UNTIL THE NEXT IPL

ENTER ANY OTHER CHARACTER TO CONTINUE WAITING ANOTHER MINUTE FOR THE JOBS TO COMPLETE

Reason:

The REFRESH Command cannot free the area in extended CSA that the old ASR occupies because another program are still using it. The message shows up to five jobs using the ASR to aid the operator in determining whether to continue checking or to stop and leave the old area until the next IPL.

Canceling the wait can cause some storage fragmentation in the extended CSA. This event is rare and can occur in circumstances where some system resource is not available causing long waits.

Action:

Based on the circumstances it is wise to wait a few minutes and then cancel the wait. The system continues asking once a minute. To issue other commands to CA Allocate, either a Cancel must be entered or the programs using the old area must stop using it.
