WRITE PEND FAILURE - AREA aaannnn

Reason:

A failure to write a pended buffer has occurred for an area. The DATACOM-NAME of the area replaces aaa and the database ID replaces nnnn. It could occur due to an I/O failure or a software failure. The block(s) needed to be written cannot be written, and the data being lost is probable. Tasks (jobs) probably have committed. If another task updates the block(s) in question, it could still be written correctly. When the buffer is recycled with new data, any block with a failed write is read with its old value, so data has been lost.

Action:

Close the area as soon as possible. The area needs to be restored from the last backup and forward recovery applied to bring it back to sync.
