04028: CICS Main Storage Wait


FILE:             CICS Incident File
SAS FILE NAME:    DETAIL.CICCIN01
SOURCE LOCATION:  prefix.MICS.USER.SOURCE(DYCICEXC)

SEVERITY:  Impacting            (SEVERITY='I')
MANAGEMENT AREA:  Performance   (MGMTAREA='PERFORMANCE')

PURPOSE:  Identifies an unreasonably large storage request.

RATIONALE:    A wait on CICS dynamic storage occurs when an
unconditional request (SUSPEND=YES) cannot be satisfied.
This can be attributed either to the task having issued a
request for an unreasonably large amount of storage, or to
the system getting too close to SOS, or to storage becoming
too fragmented for the request to be satisfied.

DEFINITION:  This exception is noted when an CMF exception
class record (pre-CICS 3.1.1) is produced for this condition.

EXCEPTION STATEMENTS:  The SAS statements identifying the
exception situation and describing the condition are stored
in the source member named in SOURCE LOCATION and are
